Evidence for carrier-mediated transport of monosaccharides in the Ehrlich ascites tumor cells was provided through kinetic analysis of data obtained by: (a) studying sugar uptake by dilute cell suspensions with an optical densimetric apparatus, (b) studying sugar uptake by thicker cell suspensions by means of direct chemical analytical methods using packed cell plugs, (c) observing the effects of a competitive inhibitor upon sugar uptake with the chemical analytical method, and (d) measurement of tracer uptake of a high affinity sugar in thick cell suspensions in the absence of net movement. Quantitative application of the data obtained with the above experimental procedures to theoretical model systems derived for both carrier-mediated transport and simple passive diffusion indicated that the results were consonant with predictions for the carrier-mediated transport model, but could not be explained on the basis of uncomplicated diffusion. |
