Predict Question 2: What effect do you think adding Na+ Cl- will have on the glucose transport rate?
Stop & Think Questions:What happened to the glucose transport rate when the glucose concentration was increased from 2 mMto8 mM?
Describe the conditions that resulted in the fastest rate of glucose transport.
Why do you think equilibrium wasn't reached?

Review Sheet Results
1. Explain one way in which facilitated diffusion is the same as simple diffusion and one way in which it is different fromsimple diffusion.
2. The larger value obtained when more glucose carriers were present corresponds to an increase in the rate of glucosetransport. Explain why the rate increased. How well did the results compare with your prediction?
3. Explain your prediction for the effect Na+ Cl- might have on glucose transport. In other words, explain why you pickedthe choice that you did. How well did the results compare with your prediction?
