Question
Chapter 7.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why the sodium-potassium pump is not considered a cotransporter.
Introduction:
The Sodium-potassium pump is an active transport system that requires energy expenditure from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to maintain an ion concentration gradient across the plasma membrane. This pump works by transporting three Na+ ions out of the cell for every two K+ ions entering the cell. In contrast, channel proteins allow molecules to diffuse down their concentration gradient, without energy expenditure. A cotransporter is a protein that couples a substance against its concentration gradient when a substance diffuses down its concentration gradient.

Effluent was collected in a beaker and mean flow rate was calculated (mL/s), and a stopwatch was used to measure how long it took for 5 mL of liquid to flow out. For the subsequent sections of the practical, a 25-mL burette was used, and the top was connected via rubber tubing to a 5-liter reservoir placed on the shelving above the bench. The tubing at the base was connected to the different flow modules that comprised the different configurations of tubes to be tested. Interpret the graph.
