(a)
To determine:
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)
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.

- Please ASAP. Thank you. Hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide modulated channels (HCN). How is this channel activated? What is predominant ion that flows through this channel?arrow_forwardOnly a few. Why do only a small number of sodium ions need to flow through the Na+Na* channel to change the membrane potential significantly?arrow_forwardThe sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, pumps 2 mol Ca2+ out of sarcomeres per mol ATP hydrolyzed. Given the following steady-state concentrations and a membrane potential of 67 mV (inside negative), calculate ΔG for the following active transport process at 37 ∘C and pH=7.4:2Ca2+(in)+ATP+H2O→2Ca2+(out)+ADP+Pi+H+arrow_forward
- Please ASAP. Thankyou. Question 5 You measure the membrane potential and find that it does not change from time X to time Y. However, you find that current across the membrane has increased by a factor of 4 from time X to time Y. Which of the following most likely happened between time X and Y? a. 4 times as many ion channels closed on the cell membrane b. Resistance of the membrane changed to ½ c, Resistance of the membrane changed to ¼ d. not enough informationarrow_forward= 20 nM. The rate of receptor-ligand complex formation with an A receptor-ligand complex has a dissociation constant of Ka added ligand concentration of 10 µM is 5 × 10³ s¯¹. What is the value of the reverse rate constant, k_₁ ? k_₁ = 8-1arrow_forwardCalculate the equilibrium membrane potentials to be expected across a membrane at 37 °C, with a NaCl concentration of 0.10 M on the “right side” and 0.01 M on the “left side”, given the following conditions. In each case, state which side is (+) and which is (-). (a) Membrane permeable only to Na+ (b) Membrane permeable only to Cl– (c) Membrane equally permeable to both ionsarrow_forward
- . Intracellular concentrations in resting muscle are as follows: fructose- 6-phosphate, 1.0 mM; fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, 10 mM; AMP, 0.1 mM; ADP, 0.5 mM; ATP, 5 mM; and P;, 10 mM. Is the phosphofruc- tokinase reaction in muscle more or less exergonic than under stan- dard conditions? By how much?arrow_forwardPlease asap. Thankyou. Question 8 If the concentration of Na+ inside of a cell increases, the Nernst potential for Na+ will do what? Become more positive Become more negative Not change Not surearrow_forwardCatabolism - draw the complete citric acid cylcle for myristatearrow_forward
- The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, pumps 2 mol Ca2+ out of sarcomeres per mol ATP hydrolyzed. Part A: Given the following steady-state concentrations and a membrane potential of 64 mV (inside negative), calculate ΔG for the following active transport process at 37 ∘C and pH=7.4: 2Ca2+(in)+ATP+H2O→2Ca2+(out)+ADP+Pi+H+ ATP=2.8mM,ADP=206μM,Pi=5.4mM,Ca2+(in)=34μM,Ca2+(out)=2.2mM The answer to part A was -7.4 kJ/mol I need help with Part B: Part B: The activity of the Ca2+-ATPase is regulated reversibly under normal conditions to maintain homeostatic concentrations of Ca2+ inside the sarcomere. However, in a rare genetic disorder, irreversible activation of the Ca2+-ATPase can occur. Assuming 37 ∘C, pH=7.4, and the steady-state concentrations for ATP, ADP Pi, and Ca2+(out) given in part (a) calculate the minimum [Ca2+] inside a sarcomere that has irreversibly activated Ca2+-ATPase (i.e., the Ca2+-ATPase activity is always “on”).arrow_forwardCalculate the change in Gibbs free energy for transport of Ca2+ from outside to inside the cell. The extracellular Ca2+ concentration is 135 uM, and the intracellular Ca2+ concentration is 98 uM. The membrane potential is -22 mV and the temperature is 37°C.
