Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Glucose transport across the red blood cell membranes is a well- studied system. One laboratory project obtained the data shown here for glucose transport.

$\begin{array}{cccc}\begin{array}{l}{\left[\mathrm{Glucose}\right]}_{\text{outside}}\\ \left(\text{mM}\right)\end{array}& \begin{array}{l}\text{Rate}\text{of}\text{Glucose}\\ \text{entry}\left(\text{µM/min}\right)\end{array}& \frac{1}{\left[\mathrm{glucose}\right]}{\left(\text{mM}\right)}^{-1}& \frac{1}{V_0}\left(\text{min/µM}\right)\\ 0.5& 12& 2& 0.0833\\ 1.0& 19& 1& 0.0526\\ 2.0& 27& 1& 0.037\\ 3.0& 32& 0.333& 0.0313\\ 4.0& 35& 0.25& 0.0286\end{array}$
