2. An experiment is done to measure the uptake of an amino acid into a cell. The following
data are obtained:
N
If Na+ is removed from the extracellular bathing solution, or if a drug is added that prevents the
cell from making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the uptake of amino acid into the cell is
markedly reduced. According to this information, which of the followingmechanisms is
probably responsible for the transport of the amino acid into the cell?
