You study cardiac myocytes to understand cell permeability during action potentials and how that influences differentiation of the cell. Modeling the cell and its environment in 1-D, calculate the flux of water across the membrane (~15nm) if the cell is in a hypotonic solution (H2Ooutside=2 mol/m3, H2Oinside=3 mol/m3). The diffusion coefficient of water at 35oC is ~3x10-3 mm2/s
