Question
Chapter 24.3, Problem 8LO
Summary Introduction
To explain: The renal corpuscle and its components.
Concept introduction: There are two symmetrical kidneys. They are reddish brown bean shaped organs. Each kidney has length of twelve centimeters, width of 6.5 centimeters and thickness of 2.5 centimeters. Kidney is important organs of the body. It removes the nitrogenous waste such as urea, creatinine, and uric acid. It also balances the water and electrolytes. It releases hormones such as renin, erythropoietin, and calciferol, regulates pH and blood pressure, and eliminates biologically-active molecules such as drugs and hormones.

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.
