MAKE CONNECTIONS Explain why the set of forces driving ionmovement across the plasma membrane of a cell is described as anelectrochemical (electrical and chemical) gradient (see Concept 7.4).
© Macmillan Learning A outside → Ainside, is 10.9 kJ/mol at 25°C. Consider a uniport system where a carrier protein transports an uncharged substance A across a cell membrane. Suppose that at a certain ratio of [A] inside to [A] outside, the AG for the transport of substance A from outside the cell to the inside, What is the ratio of the concentration of substance A inside the cell to the concentration outside? [A]inside [A] outside -81.28 Incorrect Answer Choose the true statement about the transport of A under the conditions described. Decreasing the concentration of the uniport protein in the membrane will cause AG to become a smaller positive number. Because AG is positive, the ratio [A] inside/[A] outside must be less than one. Increasing [A] outside will cause AG for movement of Aoutside to Ainside to become a larger positive number. Movement of Ainside to Aoutside will be spontaneous. Incorrect Answer
