Chapter 21.9, Problem 21.5.1QC
Summary Introduction
To write:
The meaning of the statement that the thyroid hormones have a calorigenic effect.
Introduction:
The thyroid hormones are secreted by the endocrine glands named as the Thyroid Glands that are butterfly shaped and are present in the base of the neck. Thyroid hormones are responsible for normal development and growth in humans. Thyroid hormones also play an important role in the functioning of certain tissues mainly the nervous tissues.
The thyroid hormone is released in two different forms:
T4: 3,5,3’,5’- tetraiodothyronine is the most abundantly found form of thyroid hormone.
T3: 3,5,3’- triiodothyronine is the thyroid hormone found in the most active form.

- ✓ 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.arrow_forwarddrawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked.
