The Na+-K+ ATPase uses the free energy of ATP hydrolysis in an active transport process to move Na+ and K+ across a membrane. What would the rate of nonmediated transport be given that the permeability coefficient for K+ through a human erythrocyte membrane is 2.4 × 10-10 cm/s. K+ ions must be moved from a concentration of 4 mM on the outside of the cell to 155 mM inside the cell?

The rate of non-mediated transport is mM/s.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate non-mediated transport is as follows.

           J =

where,  J = net rate of transportation

             P = permeability coefficient = cm/s

  = higher concentration region = 155 mM

  = low concentration region = 4 mM

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

          J =

         J =

            = mM/s

Therefore, we can conclude that the rate of non-mediated transport is mM/s.

i just got this problem. it's 90.3

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.

i think? ?
