The concentration of glucose outside a bacterial membrane of thickness 10 nm is found to be 0.5mol/dm3. Inside the cell the glucose concentration is 0.05 mol/dm3. Measurement of the amount of glucose crossing the bacterial membrane yields a flux of 1.20 mol*m-2*s-1. Assuming that this glucose flux is due solely to diffusion, determine the diffusion coefficient of glucose. Assume that pores constitute 5.0% of the bacterial membrane area.

Consider a biological membrane 10.0 nm thick. The diffusion coefficient for potassium ions crossing this biological membrane is 1.00 X 10 -16 m2/s. a) Draw a representation of the membrane and the diffusion of potassium ions. b) Calculate the flow rate of potassium ions moving across an area 250 nm by 250 nm, if the concentration difference across the membrane is 0.500 mol/m3.
