Question
Chapter 21, Problem 6WYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The mechanism by which transferrin and ferritin participate in recycling erythrocyte components after the cells break down.
Introduction:
Erythrocytes are generally known as red blood cells or RBCs. The mature erythrocytes do not have nuclei and cell organelles. They transport oxygen and carbon dioxide between the tissues and the lungs. They have a unique, biconcave disc structure. Their structure makes them able to carry these respiratory gases proficiently. Each erythrocyte is filled with about 280 million molecules of a red-pigmented protein called hemoglobin.

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.

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.
