Explain a section of membrane with an aquaporin

Reference no: EM13208694

A section of membrane with an aquaporin (AQP) has a water transport rate of about 3 billion water molecules per second (3 × 109 molecules·s-1). Removal of the AQP lowers the rate to about 40 million water molecules per second (4 × 107 molecules·s-1).

By what factor does the aquaporin increase the rate of water transport in this example?
