Predict Question:
Predict Question 1: What effect do you think increasing the number of protein carriers will have on the glucose transport
rate?
Your answer : b. The glucose transport rate will increase.

Predict Question 2: What effect do you think adding Na+ Cl- will have on the glucose transport rate?
Your answer : c. There will be no change in the glucose transport rate.

Stop & Think Questions:

What happened to the glucose transport rate when the glucose concentration was increased from 2 mM to
8 mM?
You correctly answered: a. The glucose transport rate increased.

Describe the conditions that resulted in the fastest rate of glucose transport.
You correctly answered: d. 700 glucose carrier proteins and 8 mM glucose

Why do you think equilibrium wasn't reached?

You correctly answered: b. The membrane proteins were saturated.
