Here is a chloride cell in the gill epithelium of a fish. For reference, NKA = Na+/K+ ATPaseNKCC = Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter. Given that the chloride cells of salt water fish have the NKCC transporter on the basal (bottom) side of the epithelium, what do you predict regarding the NKCC transporter in chloride cells of freshwater fish? A.The transporter must move chloride in the opposite direction, also from the bottom side of the cell. B.The NKCC transporter, as localized in salt water fish, could also work in freshwater fish. C.The transporter must move chloride in the opposite direction, but from the apical (top) side of the cell. D.A transporter is not needed to move Cl- ions into cells from fresh water.

Question

Here is a chloride cell in the gill epithelium of a fish. For reference, NKA = Na+/K+ ATPase
NKCC = Na+/K+/Cl- cotransporter.

Given that the chloride cells of salt water fish have the NKCC transporter on the basal (bottom) side of the epithelium, what do you predict regarding the NKCC transporter in chloride cells of freshwater fish?

	A.	The transporter must move chloride in the opposite direction, also from the bottom side of the cell.
	B.	The NKCC transporter, as localized in salt water fish, could also work in freshwater fish.
	C.	The transporter must move chloride in the opposite direction, but from the apical (top) side of the cell.
	D.	A transporter is not needed to move Cl- ions into cells from fresh water.
