Fig. 6 — Contour plots of the goodness of fit parameter R² (= 0.96) for water transport response in X. helleri sperm cells in three different media: HBSS with no CPAs (A), HBSS with 14% glycerol (B), and HBSS with 10% DMSO (C). Within each figure, the three contour correspond to the three assumed values of osmotically inactive cell volume, V_b (0.4V_o, 0.6V_o, and 0.8V_o). Note that the best-fit parameters (Tables 2 and 3) are represented within the contours by a “#” (V_b = 0.4V_o), “+” (V_b = 0.6V_o) and “*” (V_b = 0.8V_o). The membrane permeability at 0 °C, L_pg (or L_pg[cpa]) (m³/Ns) is plotted on the y-axis while the apparent activation energy of the membrane, E_Lp (or E_Lp[cpa]) (kJ/mol) is plotted on the x-axis.
