For most neurons, the extracellular concentration of chloride ions (Cl-) is 108 mM, whilethe intracellular concentration of Cl- is 5 mM.If the plasma membrane becomes more permeable to Cl-, would there be Clinflux or Cl- efflux at an RMP of -70 mV? Why?
Consider a solute having a permeability coefficient of 10-6 m s-1 for the plasma membrane of a cylindrical Chara cell that is 100 mm long and 1 mm in diameter. Assume that its concentration remains essentially uniform within the cell. Untitled Title A. How much time would it take for 90% of the solute to diffuse out into a large external solution initially devoid of that substance?* B. How much time would it take if diffusion occurred only at the two ends of the cell?* C. How would the times calculated in A and B change for 99% of the solute to diffuse out? D. How would the times change if Pj were 10-8 m s-1?*
This question uses the same experimental setup as in Question 1 and the same modification of the attached figure (Figure 2.5 of your textbook).

What are the similarities and differences between themathematical equation for the rate of simple solute diffusion andthe equation for the rate of osmosis?
Uniporters and ion channels support facilitated transport across cellular membranes. Although both are examples of facilitated transport, the rates of ion movement via an ion channel are roughly 104 - to 105 -fold faster than the rates of molecule movement via a uniporter. What key mechanisticdifference results in this large difference in transport rate?What contribution to free energy (ΔG) determines the direction of transport?

Usually , rates of diffusion vary inversely with molecular weights; so smaller molecules diffuse faster than do larger ones. In cells, however, calcium ion diffuses more slowly than does cAMP. Propose a possible explanation.
Two to three drops of mouse blood samples were placed in three different vials containing 0.07 M NaCl,0.15 M NaCl, and 0.30 M NaCl. A drop from each of the three vials were obtained and put on a slide forobservation under HPO. The effects of the different osmotic concentrations on the cells are shown in figures in your worksheets. Label the cell membrane for each figure. Give a short description (size and cell shape) for each of the RBC samples on the space provided in your worksheet. Compare their appearances with RBCs in the blood smear. Use the following guide questions in providing descriptions for each item. Which preparation has cells that look similar as those in the blood smear? What does this indicate about the movement of water in the cells? In which solution do the cells appear differently from the normal RBCs? What part of the cell could have possibly controlled such movement of water? What is its property that allowed this movement?
The diffusion coefficient for potassium ions crossing a biological membrane 10 nm thick is 1.0 x 10-11 m2/s. What flow rate of potassium ions will move across an area of 100 nm x 100 nm if the concentration difference across the membrane is 0.5 mol/dm3.
If Ecl=-70mV, and the membrane depolarises slightly to -60mV, how will Cl- behave?
Suppose that the concentration of CI outside the cell is 100 and inside the cell is 10 mmol/liter. The Nernst equation at 20°C is: Eton = 58 millivolts/z- [10810 (m)] [lonlin You set the membrane voltage at 0 millivolts using a voltage clamp, and measure membrane current. If Cl is the only ion crossing the membrane, you would expect to see: Onegative charges flowing into the cell negative charges flow out of the cell 0 current the membrane hyperpolarizes (becomes more negative)
