Experiment Results
Predict Question:
Predict Question 1: What do you think will result from these experimental conditions?
Your answer : c. No Na+ will be transported.
Predict Question 2: Do you think the addition of glucose carriers will affect the transport of
sodium or potassium?
Your answer : d. No, it will not affect the transport of either ion.
Stop & Think Questions:
Why did the sodium transport stop before the transport was completed?
You correctly answered: c. The ATP was depleted.
Why was the equilibrium for the solutes reached earlier?
You correctly answered: c. There were more pumps for transport.

Post-lab Quiz Results


You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly.

1. What happened when you increased the amount of ATP dispensed with the same
concentration of sodium and potassium on either side of the membrane?
You correctly answered: b. More ions were transported. (Lebih banyak ion yang
diangkut)
2. At what concentration of ATP were the sodium and potassium maximally
transported?
You correctly answered: d. 3 mM ATP
3. What was the effect of adding more Na+ -K+ pumps to the simulated cell?
You correctly answered: a. Transport of the ions was faster.
4. Describe the effect of adding glucose carriers to the sodium and potassium transport.
You correctly answered: c. There was no change in the transport rate because glucose
is transported independently.

Review Sheet Results

1. Describe the significance of using 9 mM sodium chloride inside the cell and 6 mM
potassium chloride outside the cell,
instead of other concentration ratios.
Your answer:
The Na+/K+ pump works with 3:2 ratio of soudium - potassium. (Pompa Na + / K +
bekerja dengan rasio 3: 2 natrium – kalium)
2. Explain why there was no sodium transport even though ATP was present. How well
did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
In order to observe working of Na+/K+ pump sodium and potassium need to be
present. So sodium alone can not make pump work. (Untuk mengamati kerja Na + / K
+ pompa natrium dan kalium perlu hadir. Jadi natrium saja tidak bisa membuat kerja
pompa.)
3. Explain why the addition of glucose carriers had no effect on sodium or potassium
transport. How well did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Addition of Glucose and its carriers do not help or hinder Na+/K+ pumping. Because
glucose transport works independently. (Penambahan Glukosa dan pembawanya tidak
membantu atau menghambat pemompaan Na + / K +. Karena transport glukosa bekerja secara
independen.)
4. Do you think glucose is being actively transported or transported by facilitated
diffusion in this experiment? Explain youranswer.
Your answer:
It may transported by facilitated diffusion. Cause glucose is a lipid insoluble and too
large to pass through the cell membrane, it requires a glucose carrier. (Ini bisa
diangkut dengan difusi difasilitasi. Penyebab glukosa adalah lipid yang tidak larut dan
terlalu besar untuk melewati membran sel, ia memerlukan pembawa glukosa.)
