Summary Introduction
Dictyostelium discoideum belongs to the phylum Amoebozoa. It is generally referred to as cellular slime molds. Dictyostelium discoideum use endocytosis to feed on yeasts and bacteria. The life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum is complex and it comprises true multicellularity, in spite of their primitive evolutionary position.

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_forward
