Answer:

Transporters are the integral membrane proteins that serve to move the substances across the membrane.

Explanation:

Transporters are the membrane proteins that serve to move specific ions or molecules across the lipid bilayer. These are the integral membrane proteins. Transporters include carriers, channels, pumps, etc. Channels are the integral membrane proteins that serve to provide a pathway for transport of charged and/or polar substances that otherwise can not cross the non-polar core of the lipid bilayer.

Pumps are involved in the active transport of substances against the concentration gradient and use the energy of ATP hydrolysis. Some of the examples of transporters are voltage-gated ion channels, GLUT1 glucose transporter, F₀F₁ ATPase proton pump, etc.

1. What is the relationship between chromosomes and DNA? The chromosome is a molecule formed by a chain of DNA associated with proteins. Together, they form a group of molecules directly responsible for heredity.

2. What is heredity? It is the biological process where the genes present in a DNA are transmitted by parents to their children, through the division of gametes. These genes carry the codes that form the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, which allows a similarity between parents and children to occur.

3. What is the role of proteins associated with the DNA molecule that makes up the gene? Proteins are responsible for keeping the DNA line tightly compressed, maintaining the chromosome structure. In addition, they control the activities of the genes present in this DNA molecule, being essential in maintaining heredity.

4. How do chromosomes participate in gene transmission? As mentioned above, genes are part of DNA and DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes, in this case, chromosomes are molecules loaded with genes. In the human body, cells have 46 pairs of chromosomes, with the exception of gametes that have half that number. During the reproductive process, the gametes (reproductive cells) divide and produce a new being. The mother's gametes unite with the father's gametes to form a new being. Each gamete has 23 chromosomes, which contain the genes responsible for transmitting the characteristics.

Hunter-Best [27]

For Anna’s case, my preliminary idea of the species of bacteria responsible for Anna’s infection is a Gram-negative bacterium as observed in gross examination of the colony. With this, my <span>idea has not changed since the last activity for the bacteria was rod-shaped when we view it through a microscope and the color of the colonies was pink after we Gram stained it, which indicate that it is Gram-negative.</span>
