Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The causes of botulism and its treatment.

Introduction:

Botulism is a chronic illness that results in flaccid paralysis of muscles. The cause of botulism is a neurotoxin, known as botulinum toxin, which is produced generally by the bacterium Clostridium. The toxin can block the release of a vital chemical acetylcholine from the motor nerve endings which play an important role in the transmission of the signal among the nerve cells.

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.
