Fig. 5. Assessment of HCO3– dependency for
Na+ uptake by bled and un-bled L. stagnalis as tested
under control (sodium bicarbonate) and treatment (NaCl, sodium gluconate or
sodium sulfate) conditions. Each treatment medium contained 500 µmol
l–1 of Na+. Differences between un-bled and bled
conditions within treatments were significantly different. There were no
significant differences among sodium treatment groups in un-bled or bled
conditions. N=10 in all cases except control (NaCl, N=8) and
sodium gluconate treatment (N=9). Values are means ± s.e.m.
