Microbial rhodopsins are a widespread family of photoactive proteins. Archaebacteria belonging to Halobacteria predomina
This outcome reflects enzyme catalysis and lipid structure, where substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Option D captures this correctly because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in biochemistry.
Ref: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Chapter 9, Lipids and Membranes, explains phospholipid components, glycerol, fatty acids, phosphate group and membrane structure providing foundation for lipid biochemistry.
