Summary Introduction

To describe:The path of blood flow in the fetus, starting with the placenta, and the structures that are unique to fetal circulation.

Introduction:

Fetal circulation is the circulation system of the fetus and lungs are not used in this circulation. Therefore this prenatal circulatory system is different from the postnatal circulation system. Placenta keeps the fetus's blood supply separate from the maternal blood supply. The umbilical cord is the birth cord that connects the fetus to the womb of the mother.

Biology Question
✓ 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.
