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 1×108 molecules/second. Under the same conditions, unstimulated cells could only transport a maximum of about 1×107 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?

Calculate K. Note: K is not 0.1*1013 or 14*1011 or 1*1012. b.) Calculate τ.
Glucose transporter (GLUT) isoforms move glucose in and out of the cell GLUTS respond to the glucose equilibrium concentrations. Use your knowledge of enzyme catalysis and lonetics to predict which of the following correctly rank the steps in glucose transport by GLUT1? 1. Glucose binding results in a conformational change, opening the binding site on the opposite side of the membrane 11. Glucose binds to the transporter on one side of the membrane II. The transporter reverts to initial conformation IV. The glucose disassociates OA III, IV, III OB. 1,1,1, IV OCIV, II, II, I ODII, IV III OENI, LI
