Question

1. Place in decreasing order the specificity in which transporter recognizes substrates. (Greatest degree of specificity at top, smallest degree of specificity at bottom) 2. What type of transport is likely being utilized by this transporter? -passive diffusion -secondary active diffusion -primary active diffusion -no way to determine 3. Why does it utilize that type of transport? Uptake in the presence of Na Uptake in the absence of Na Vmax Km (mM) V, Km (mM) Substrate max L-leucine 420 0.24 23 0.24 310 4.7 D-leucine 225 0.31 19 0.31 L-valine

Explanation / Answer

1)d.leucine- L.valine- L.leucine

2)passive diffusion

3) From table it is demostrated that in both presence of Na and absence of Na the Km values is same. So, no need to expend any further energy. That indicated the transport will be govern through passive diffusion.
