Question 1-5 points The addition and subtraction of charge to biological molecules such as proteins is critical to the conformational changes that drive essential biological processes. A prime example of this is found in the Sodium-Potassium Pump that maintains imbalances in the concentration of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane. A simple model of this pump is shown in the figure below. 2 Potassium ion Sodium ion Phosphate ion In the second panel of the figure we see...
The dipole moment of the water molecule (H2O) is 6.17×10−30 C.m. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p? points in the +x-direction. A chlorine ion (Cl-), of charge −1.60 × 10−19 C, is located at x = 3 nm. Assume that x is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used.

Two red blood cells each have a mass of 9.05 x 10-14 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces The repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. One cell carries -2.10 pC and the other 2.60 pc, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 3.75 × 10-6 m in radius. If the red blood cells start very far apart and move directly toward each other with the same speed,...
