Summary Introduction
To design: An experiment to test the hypothesis that B vitamin pyridoxine is an essential nutrient in mice.
Introduction: Essential nutrients are the nutrients that cannot be synthesized by one’s own body but are required to carry out the normal physiological functions and must be provided through diet. There are six essential nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, and water.

- Test Your Understanding 10.INTERPRET DATA GLUT 4 is a glucose transporter that functions in adipose (fat) cell plasma membranes. An analysis of adipose cells exposed to insulin showed that a single cell could import glucose at a maximum rate of about 1108 molecules/second. Under the same conditions, unstimulated cells could only transport a maximum of about 1107 molecules/second. What does this finding tell you about the relative number of GLUT 4 transporters functioning in the plasma membranes of stimulated versus unstimulated cells?arrow_forwardTest Your Understanding 12.
