The function of the "ion pump" in nerve chemistry is to transport Na^+ and K^- against...
1. Animal cells have a Na,K pump that couples the energy of ATP hydrolysis to transport 3 Na ions out of the cell and 2 K ions into the cell. Inside astrocytes, the concentration of Na is 20 mM and the concentration of K is 130 mM. The extracellular concentrations of Na and K are 145 mM and 5 mM, respectively. Calculate the energy required for the transport of Na and K , with this stoichiometry; assume that the cell...
Draw/Describe how the Na+/K+ pump functions. Use specific details, present steps in chronological order using a cause/effect - if/then approach: “if ___(cause) occurs, then ____(effect) happens). Include concentrations gradients (before and after), membrane proteins, direction of molecule flow (into/out of, from high to low/low to high, up/down or with/against the gradient). Include any additional details you feel are relevant. What type of transport is this? What is the overall role of the pump?
The Na+/K+ pump transports 2 K+ into the cell and 3 Nat out of the cell under the use of ATP. Under normal circumstances, the concentration of K+ inside the cell is 140 mm, while the [K] outside of the cell is 6 mM. The concentration of Nat inside the cell is 16 mM, while the [Na] outside the cell is 145 mm. The membranpotential is -0.07 V The temperature is 37°C/310,15K c) Calculate how much energy (kJ/mol it takes...
Roles of the Na+/ K+ pump 1. Maintain the Nat/K+ concentration gradicnt across the plasma membrane. (That's obvious) 2. It plays a role in maintaining the resting membrane potential. Why? 3. The steep electrochemical gradient of Na+ is used in "coupled active transport" (coupled pumps). If the Nat/K+ pump stops, then these Na+ coupled transport mechanisms will also eventually stop. Explain The apical surface of the epithelial cells that line the lumen of the gut contains a symport that used...
Given these parameters, what is the AG for K ion transport into the frog muscle cell in the presence of Ach? Dr. Knowsalot smiles and nods. "Good," she says. "Now let's see whether K+ ions pass through the open Ach receptors into the cell. As you might remember, these channels are permeable to Na+, K+, and Ca2+. For a typical frog muscle cell, the concentration of K+ is roughly 124 mM inside the cell and 2.30 mM outside the cell."...

5. The nickel-cadmium battery, despite issues with the toxicity of Cd, is still used in some rechargeable batteries because it has very consistent voltage over long discharge times. a) Using only half-cell reactions given in Table 16.1, write the overall reaction and give the highest AV° value possible for a NiCd battery. b) The actual half-cell reactions used in a Nicd battery are: Ca(OH)2(8) + 2e → Cds + 2OH(aq) (Vº = -0.86V) NiO(OH)) + H2O) +e Ni(OH)2(s) + OH(aq)...
1) Glucose enters human enterocytes (intestinal epithelial cells) against its concentration gradient. A Na+ ion enters the cell with each glucose molecule, and while the glucose transporter does not hydrolyze ATP, it depends on a pre-existing gradient of Na+ ions that is created by the Na+/K+ ATPase. This is an example of ____________. A. primary active uniport B. secondary active antiport C. primary active symport D. secondary active symport 2) Which statement is FALSE? A. Acetyl CoA is oxidized to...
