Living cells "pump" singly ionized sodium ions, Na", from the
inside of the cell to the outside to maintain a membrane potential
AV membrane = Vin - Vout - 70 mV. It is called pumping because
work must be done to move a positive ion from the negative inside
of the cell to the positive outside, and it must go on continuously
because sodium ions "leak" back through the cell wall by diffusion.
a. How much work must be done to move one sodium ion from
the inside of the cell to the outside?
b. At rest, the human body uses energy at the rate of approxi-
mately 100 W to maintain basic metabolic functions. It has
been estimated that 20% of this energy is used to operate
the sodium pumps of the body. Estimate-to one significant
figure the number of sodium ions pumped per second.
What are the potential differences ΔVAB and ΔVBC ?
