Question

Only answer if you're

100% positive you are providing the correct answers

Do not just guess or give an educated guess

double check your work from sources

when it says select all that apply, it means there are more than just one answer, it could be 2,3,4, or all of them

Do not just answer one question and leave the rest unanswered

Thank you

1. Which of the following best defines saturation?

1. Which of the following best defines saturation?

a. the nephron does not contain the correct transport proteins to transport a substrate.

b. the amount of substrate able to be transported is depleted.

c. the maximum rate of transport is achieved when all carriers are occupied by a substrate

Explanation / Answer

1). c. the maximum rate of transport is achieved when all carriers are occupied by a substrate

The maximum rate of transport is achieved only if all the carriers are occupied, means saturation achieved. Beyond this point, the rate of transport does not increase with increase in substrate concentration.
