Membrane Permeability a. What molecule makes up the majority of the cell membrane and how does its structure create the semi-permeable nature of the membrane? b. For each of the following molecules describe whether or not it can freely diffuse across a cell membrane. Justify your answers. RNA, Cholesterol, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Sodium ions (Na+), please be as detail as possible.

#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...

The capacitance of the cell membrane is estimated to be 89 pF, and approximately 10000 Na+ ions flow through an ion channel when it opens. 1. Based on this information and what you learned in this chapter about the action potential, estimate the total number of sodium ion channels in the membrane of a nerve cell. Express your answer using two significant figures. (N = ???)

Neurons are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that function to process and transmit information from one part the body to another, through specialized connections called synapses. The signaling process is partly electrical and partly chemical. In vertebrate animals, neurons are the core components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Neurons carry messages in the form of electrical signals called nerve impulses or action potentials. An action potential occurs when the resting membrane potential at a specific...

(OHow does the relative permeability of the membrane to Na and K throughout the course of the action potential change compared with that at the resting membrane potential? From the following, select the statement(s) which are CORRECT: Select one or more: a. The number of potassium voltage-gated channels that open determine the amplitude of the action potential b. During the peak of an action potential, there is a 500x increase in the concentration of Na+ that move into the cell....

9. Some diseases result from defective transport across the membrane. For example, cystic fibrosis results when a chloride ion transporter does not function. Which of the following is affected when this transporter does NOT function? the electrical gradient of the cell neither the chloride gradient nor the electrical gradient of the cell the chloride concentration gradient both the chloride concentration gradient and the electrical gradient of the cell 10. Which way does the water move if the cell is in...

Lo 10: Electrochemical Gradient The difference in voltage across the membrane is called the __________________________________. The inside of a normal cell is ___________________ (+/-); while the outside is ___________(+/-). The resting membrane potential of a neuron is ___________mV. Diagram the relative ratios of Ca++, Na+ and K+ in a cell under resting conditions. Draw an arrow for each of the molecules indicating which direction would be passive transport (into or out of the cell). For each of the following sentences, fill in...

Consider the following for problems 1 through 5: The concept of electric potential difference plays an important role in the human nervous system. A nervous impulse, for example, is an action potential that results from the temporal rising and lowering of the cell membrane potential, which in turn is caused by the equally temporal influx of sodium (Na+) ions into the cell. The sodium ions enter the cell through Hodgkin-Huxley channels, named after English physiologist/biophysicists Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley....

4. Inspired by the natural design of cell membranes, you have invented a strange new semi-permeable membrane consisting of a water-impemeable base layer interspersed with hydrophilic transmembrane glycoproteins which form three types of channels. Channel type 'A' is approx imately 3 angstroms in diameter and lined with negative charges Channel type 'B' is approximately 3 angstroms in diameter also but lined with positive charges Channel type C is approximately 4 angstroms in diameter and electrically neutral This membrane separates two...
