The membrane potential is -22 mV and the temperature is 37°C. O. -5.1 kJ/mol O 1.2 kJ/mol -410 kJ/mol 3.4 kJ/molFor a typical vertebrate cell with a membrane potential of −0.070 V (inside negative), what is the free-energy change for transporting 1 mol of Na+ from the cell into the blood at 37 °C? Assume the concentration of Na+ insidethe cell is 12 mM and in blood plasma it is 145 mM.Calculate the maximum ratio that can be achieved by the plasma membrane Na+-glucose symporter of an epithelial cell when [Na+]in is 12 mM, [Na+]out is 145 mM, the membrane potential is −50 mV (inside negative), and the temperature is 37 °C.
- Table K₁ (T1) Vmax (T1) Kt (T2) Vmax (T2) 1 1.12 mM 125 nmole/min None of the above. 3.0 mM 130 nmole/min Based on these values, what are your conclusions? O T1 is most likely a cell that expresses a high affinity transporter for glucose. T2 is most likely a cell that expresses a high affinity transporter for glucose. T1 must be a cell expressing the insulin-dependent glucose transporter. Each transporter has a similar Vmax and therefore both T1 and T2 are the same cell type.Calculate the free energy required to move 1 mol of K* ions from inside the cell (where concentration of K+= 0.063 M) to the outside the cell (where concentration K+= 0.17 M). The membrane potential is -0.05 V and the temperature is 303.06 K.

In each case, state which side is (+) and which is (−). Membrane permeable only to Cl−.
- Estimate the flux (mg/cm2/s) by diffusion of estrogen (a steroid) through a lipid bilayer cell membrane when assuming the diffusion coefficient for estrogen across the lipid bilayer is 10^–6 cm2/s, and that the initial concentration of estrogen in the extracellular fluid is 1 ng/mL and 0 in the cytoplasm.The following table shows experimental results of the glucose transport rate, mM/sec, following facilitated diffusion by glucose carrier proteins. (Recall: the starting conc. L represents glucose added to one side of the membrane; distilled water, omM of glucose was added to the other side of the membrane). The rate of glucose transport was 0.0031 mm/sec with 8mM of glucose (run number 4, highlighted); the rate decreased to 0.0017 mM/sec with 10mM of glucose (run 5, highlighted).
