equilibrium potential=RT/ZF ln ([K+]out/[K+]in)
R=8.314 J/mol
T= temperture in K
37 degree celcius=37+273=310 K
Z= charge of K+=+1
Z=Faradays constant=96485C/mol
[K+]out= 4.5 mM
[K+]in=120 mM
equilibrium potential= (8.314310/96465)
ln(4.5/120)
=-0.0877V
1 V= 1000 mV
so -0.0877V = -87.7 mV
so the answer is b) -87.7 mV

1.) If the intracellular chloride ion concentration of a cell is 9 mM and has an extracellular concentration of 125 mM, then the equilibrium potential for chloride ion is ___ mV. (round to the nearest 10th decimal place) 2.) Typically found at the apical surface of an epithelial layer, a __ __ serves to prevent/limit paracellular transport as well as sealing and providing support to the epithelium. 3.) In order for a cell to respond to a regulatory molecule, it...

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."...
According to the Nernst equation, the equilibrium potential for any ion, Ejon, distributed across a membrane is dependent on the internal, [lon]in, and external, [lon]out, concentrations of the ion (in moles or grams/liter); the valence of the ion, z (an integer); the absolute temperature, K; Faraday's constant, F; and the universal gas constant, R. Eion = ( R ) 2.303 log10 (Ionlout Tomlin If Faraday's constant is approximately 96,500 coulombs/mole, and the equilibrium potential for sodium ions across a skeletal...
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...
(1) Mitochondria regulate the concentration of calcium ions in the cytoplasm, by allowing the ions to equilibrate across the mitochondrial membrane. If the mitochondrion has a membrane potential of –150 mV relative to the cytoplasm, and the cytoplasmic concentration of Ca2+ is 1 μM, what is the mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration? Assume a temperature of 37 C. (2) The membrane calcium pump of the malarial parasite Trypanosoma cruzipumps out calcium ions from the parasite cell interior, hydrolyzing one molecule of ATP...
< Question 10 of 18 > “To calculate AG for an ion, you simply add the equations for the chemical and electrostatic components together. AG = RT IN (6) +ZFV. Say you are trying to move Ca²+ into a frog muscle cell through its ionotropic Ach receptors after they are stimulated by the neurotransmitter. For a typical frog muscle cell, the concentration of Ca²+ is 0.100 mM inside the cell and 2.10 mM outside the cell. As mentioned earlier, a...
