(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: ΔG for the transport of potassium ions into a cell having no membrane potential across its plasma membrane.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involve the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide the energy. It is done with the help of enzyme Na+/K+-ATPase. Most cells of human body pump potassium ion inside the cell to maintain internal potassium ion concentration which is 30 to 40 times the external concentration.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: ΔG for inward transport of potassium ions having membrane potential of -60mM.

Introduction: The transport of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane is an active transport process, which involve the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to provide the energy. It is done with the help of enzyme Na+/K+-ATPase. Most cells of human body pump potassium ion inside the cell to maintain internal potassium ion concentration which is 30 to 40 times the external concentration.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The maximum number of potassium ions that can be pumped inward by the hydrolysis of one ATP molecule if the ATP/ADP ratio in the cell is 5:1 and the inorganic phosphate concentration is 10mM.

Transcription and Translation Practice: (Video 10-1 and 10-2) A. Below is the sense strand of a DNA gene. Using the sense strand, create the antisense DNA strand and label the 5' and 3' ends. B. Use the antisense strand that you create in part A as a template to create the mRNA transcript of the gene and label the 5' and 3' ends. C. Translate the mRNA you produced in part B into the polypeptide sequence making sure to follow all the rules of translation. 5'-AGCATGACTAATAGTTGTTGAGCTGTC-3' (sense strand) 4
What is the structure and function of Eukaryotic cells, including their organelles? How are Eukaryotic cells different than Prokaryotic cells, in terms of evolution which form of the cell might have came first? How do Eukaryotic cells become malignant (cancerous)?
