Hormones are responsible for regulating the functions of kidney including urine formation, and maintenance of blood pressure. The antidiuretic hormone, which is responsible for reabsorption of water at the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct, and the aldosterone, which is responsible for stimulation of sodium channels in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct regulates the blood pressure.

✓ 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.
