A nerve cell is shaped like a cylinder. The membrane wall of the cylinder has a +0.07-V potential difference from the inside to the outside of the wall. To help maintain this potential difference, sodium ions are pumped from inside the cell to the outside. For a typical cell, 10^9 ions are pumped each second.
A) Determine the change in chemical energy each second required to produce this increase in electric potential energy.?
The solution is given in the attached image.
We directly need to put the values as is done and explained. Final answer is boxed.

#2 please In this part, we will explore electrostatics as it relates to the nerve cell, a critical electrostatic device for almost all life. We will use a rather simplified picture of the nerve cell, and treat it as a parallel plate capacitor. Although oversimplified, this model does correctly describe the underlying physics. As shown in the diagram below, the nerve cell is a fluid-filled tube (the axon) that is surrounded by another fluid. The nerve cell wall (membrane) separates...

PLEASE ANSWER WITH UNITSNerve cells maintain a charge separation across their cell membrane. The cell membrane in a particular cell is 13 nm thick and the cell can be modeled as a cylinder with a diameter of 11 um and a length of 90 um. If the potential difference across the cell membrane is 50 mV, what is the charge stored on the cell? (Assume that the dielectric constant of the cell membrane is 1.0.)
Potassium ions (K+) move across a 7.0-nm- thick cell membrane from the inside to the outside. The potential inside the cell is −80.0 mV, and the potential outside is zero. What is the change in the electrical potential energy Δ? electric of the potassium ions as they move across the membrane?
When a nerve cell is stimulated electrically, mechanically, or chemically, the permeability of the cell membrane changes and sodium ions (Na+) can diffuse more readily into the cell. If 1.5 x 106 Na+ ions move through the membrane in 5.0 ms, what is the corresponding electric current?
A typical cell has an electric potential difference across its cell membrane, The electric potential interior to the cell is 70mV less than that on the exterior. Under certain circumstances, the cell can redistribute charge so that the electric potential inside is 40 mV greater than that outside. Assuming the membrane is 12 nm thick and that the net electric field inside it is uniform, how does that field change in the transition from having an interior that is 70...
