Question
Chapter 15, Problem 1P
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The location of the heart.
Introduction:
The heart is a muscular organ which is responsible for pumping blood in the whole body. It pumps oxygenated blood to the body. It collects deoxygenated blood from the body and passes it to the lungs for purification. It pumps blood through a network of arteries and veins that forms cardiovascular system. Its size is as small as the size of a clenched fist. Along with oxygen, it transports nutrients and removes
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The heart is a muscular organ made up of cardiac muscles. It is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood in the body and removal of deoxygenated blood from the body. It has four chambers. Left auricle and left ventricle carries oxygenated blood, while right auricle and right ventricle carry deoxygenated blood.
The heart is surrounded by lungs, vertebral column, and sternum. The base of the heart is located below the second rib and is connected with many large blood vessels. It is located on the left side of the body.
Conclusion
The heart is located in the left side in close proximity with lungs. It is responsible for pumping blood in body and removal of metabolic waste from the body.

✓ Details
Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. 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.
drawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked. Thank you.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
