The causes and effects of obesity.
Introduction:
Intake of more than required fat content in the diet causes accumulation of the extra fat in the body. Amount of fat differs from individual to individual depending upon their height and sex. Fat index is measured according to the BMI levels. BMI more than the required value (based on height, weight, and sex of the individual) is known as obesity.

- Biology Questionarrow_forward✓ 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.
