Summary Introduction

Antibiotics are antimicrobial substances produced by certain microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. These antibiotic substances inhibit or kill other microbes without producing toxic effect to the host. Cell wall, cytoplasmic membrane, ribosomes, lipid biosynthesis enzymes, replication and transcription elements are major targets of antibiotics in bacteria.

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.
