1. Animal cells have a Na,K pump that couples the energy of ATP hydrolysis to transport 3 Na ions out of the cell and 2 K ions into the cell. Inside astrocytes, the concentration of Na is 20 mM and the concentration of K is 130 mM. The extracellular concentrations of Na and K are 145 mM and 5 mM, respectively. Calculate the energy required for the transport of Na and K , with this stoichiometry; assume that the cell...

You are testing the rate of glucose transport into vesicles using a Na^+-glucose pump. This transporter protein transports Na^+ and glucose in the same direction, and is a coupled transporter such that binding of cither Na^+ or glucose increases the affinity of the transporter to bind the other solute. In experiment 1, you create artificial vesicles that have the Na^+-glucose pump in the membrane. These vesicles have glucose but no Na^+ ions inside. You place these vesicles into a series...

HW 11-1 Recall that the Na + concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples the "downhill" transport of two Na + ions into the cell to the "uphill" transport of glucose into the cell. If the Na + concentration outside the cell ( [ Na + ] out ) is 149 mM and that inside the cell ( [ Na + ] in ) is 19.0 mM, and the cell potential is −...

The protein apotransferrin binds two Fe(III) ions for cell transport. A 5.00 mL solution of apotransferrin is titrated with 103 μL of a 1.45 M Fe(III) solution. The initially colorless solution turns red as the Fe(III) is add, and the color change is measured with a spectrophotometer. Explain why there is a difference in the spectrophotometric response before and after the equivalence point of the titration. 1) Classify the statements as describing the titration before or after the equivalence point....
