1. The optically active amino acids stimulate sugar metabolism in the plant cell, spirogyra, and the animal cell, paramecium, while the optically inactive ones do not. 2. Paramecium uses sugar much more rapidly than spirogyra, in keeping with the more intense metabolism in animals than in plants. 3. Spirogyra and paramecium use dextrose and levulose more rapidly than galactose, just as is the case with higher animals and man. 4. Insulin increases the rate of utilization of the sugars in paramecium and spirogyra, similar to its action in the higher animals and man. |
