## Abstract Enzyme activities and mitochondrial substrate oxidation were measured in the posterior midguts of tobacco hornworms at different larval stages. A comparison of third, fourth, and fifth instars demonstrated no differences in citrate synthase activity (per gram of midgut), indicating that

Chloride-stimulated K+ secretion by Manduca sexta midgut (5th-instar larvae) was measured as K(+)-carried short-circuit current of the tissue mounted in an Ussing chamber. "Microscopic" parameters, such as single-channel current and channel density for the rate-determining passive transport step acr
During the last larval instar of Manduca sexta (tobacco hornworm), the insect enters the wandering phase, in which the animal ceases feeding and the structural reorganization of the midgut begins. Midgut metabolism and ion transport in midguts of feeding and wandering (day 5) fifth-instar tobacco ho
