Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason that it is an advantage for CO2, H+, and heat to be major factors in decreasing the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen.

Introduction: A gene named as globin gene is responsible for the production of proteins that have an affinity towards oxygen. These proteins are responsible for the transportation of oxygen across different body parts. The best-known example of globin protein is hemoglobin. It has a high affinity for oxygen. Hemoglobin is a major constituent of erythrocytes (red blood cells) present in the blood. The red coloration of blood is due to the presence of this hemoglobin protein. The hemoglobin present in erythrocytes binds to oxygen to transport the oxygen in the blood of vertebrates.

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.
