Introduction:

Blood is the fluid connective tissue present in the body of vertebrates. It is homogeneous and thick with cellular components. The cells present in it are known as formed elements. These cells are suspended in plasma, which is a nonliving fluid matrix. The total volume of the blood constituted by erythrocytes or red blood cells is known as hematocrit.

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.
