Question
What is the energy requirement to transport 3 mol of Na+ across the
membrane by the Nat-K+ ATPase transporter protein at 37 °C under
conditions in which the membrane potential is 70 mV (the inside of the cell is
negative relative to the outside) and the ion concentrations are as follows:
+ [K*]outside = 5 mM
[K+Jinside = 140 mM
[Na]outside = 150 mM
[Na]inside = 10 mM
O-41.22 kJ
+ 13.74 kJ
+41.22 kJ
O-13.74 kJ

Expert Solution
Step 1

As we see in the above question that the ion concentration difference of Kfrom out side to inside is 135 mV and of Na+ is 140 mV. 

 

The membrane potential is at the resting membrane potential which is 70 mV at normal temperature.
