Alice reads another paper which seeks to elucidate the interaction of GLUT1, LAT1 and the movement of water. In the paper, the authors set up artificial cells which mimic the endothelial cells. Embedded in the artificial cell membrane is a deformed GLUT1 protein which does not work, a normal LAT1 protein and aquaporins. The artificial cell is submerged in a beaker of water which contains 10 picomole of phenylalanine. After several minutes where will water move?
|
|
a) Water will move out of the artificial cell. |
|
|
b) Most of the water will move out of artificial cell. A little will move in. |
|
|
c) Water will move into the artificial cell. |
|
|
d) Most of the water will move into the artificial cell. A little will move out. |
