Chapter 12.2, Problem 8LO
Summary Introduction
To identify: The structures unique to neurons.
Concept introduction: A neuron is a basic functional unit of the nervous system. It is a complex network of specialized cells of the nervous system for the transmission of messages. It is a microscopic individual cell that has the ability to respond to a stimulus and converts it into an action potential.

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_forwarddrawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked.
