Chapter 12, Problem 18Q
Summary Introduction

To determine: The ion whose electrochemical gradient drives the import of amino acids in an animal cell across a plasma membrane.

Introduction: The ion and amino acid transport across the plasma membrane occurs with high and low affinity of transport systems. High-affinity transport system in nerve cell functions to remove neurotransmitter amino acid from the extracellular area. Transporters that proceed with coupled transport where the solutes travel in the same direction are known as symport. Amino acids travel across the membrane with the help of ion inside the cell.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether ATP is needed in the symport process of amino acid.
