To calculate: The equilibrium membrane potential of K+ and Na+ where there would be no net movement of the ion throughout the plasma membrane.
Introduction: The force that influences to drive an ion across a membrane is made up of two components; one is due to the electrical membrane potential and another is due to the concentration gradient of the ion. At equilibrium constant, two forces of the membrane that is the intracellular force and extra cellular force are balanced and havea simple mathematical relationship known as Nernst equation. Membrane potential of the biological cell refers to the difference in the electric potential between the interior of the cell concentration and the exterior cell concentration.
To explain: The membrane potential of animal cell at resting condition.

- If PCR was performed on the fragment of DNA shown below using "5'-TAGG-3" and "3'-TCTA-5'" as the primers, how many base pairs long would the PCR product be? To help with this, remember the antiparallel structure of DNA and that primers are complementary and antiparallel to the target sequence that they bind to.

Identify the areas of the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.arrow_forward
