Summary Introduction

To design:

An experiment to analyse the antibacterial activity of plant fluids.

Introduction:

Antibacterial activity refers to the action of certain agents against bacterium. It either kills or inhibits the growth of the bacteria. Antibacterial drugs are used for bacterial infections. Antibiotics like beta-lactams, fluroquinolones, aminoglycoside etc are commonly used. But the problem with use of antibiotics is emergence of bacterium that are resistant to antibiotics. Search of plant products for antibacterial activity has given abundant positive results.

Plant parts − dried leaves, flower heads, dried buds, roots, peel & pulp of fruits etc

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.
drawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked. Thank you.
