In addition to regulating glucose transport, insulin can stimulate the uptake of amino acids in some cells. You hypothesized that insulin would stimulate amino acid transport in liver cells, and performed the experiment illustrated in the figure. In this experiment, skeletal muscle cells were treated with increasing doses of insulin, and the transport of amino acid into the cells was measured 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 min after administering insulin.
What is the constant in your experiment?

5 U/kg insulin
1 U/kg insulin
0 U/kg insulin
