Chapter 1, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The differences in the characteristics of the individuals in a population forming new traits that are inherited to the next generation is called natural selection. Natural selection results in adaptation where the survivability of organisms is increased and it also plays a major role in the evolution of new organisms.

Identify the areas of the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.arrow_forward
