Use the Nernst equation to calculate the membrane potential (in mV) for Ca(2+) if the concentration of Ca(2+) inside the cell is 5mM and outside the concentration of Ca(2+) is 140mM. You should do this calculation at body temperature, 37C (310K).

In a two-compartment model of a cell with a K+- and Na+-permeable membrane and a 10-fold excess of K+ in the inside compartment, how would the membrane potential change if all K+ ions were replaced by Na+ ions? a. It would double. b. It would be reduced by half. c. It would not change. d. It would become positive. e. No potential would be generated.

A typical cell has a membrane potential of -70 mV, meaning that the potential inside the cell is 70 mV less than the potential outside due to a layer of negative charge on the inner surface of the cell wall and a layer of positive charge on the outer surface. This effectively makes the cell wall a charged capacitor. Because a cell's diameter is much larger than the wall thickness, it is reasonable to ignore the curvature of the cell...

The net charge difference across the membrane, just like the charge difference across the plates of a capacitor, is what leads to the voltage across the membrane. How much excess charge (in picocoulombs, where 1 pc = 1x10-12 C) must lie on either side of the membrane of an axon of length 2 cm to provide this potential difference (0.07 V) across the membrane? You may consider that a net positive charge with this value lies just outside the axon...

Diffusion of gases across a permeable membrane 1. How long did it take the O2 levels to become about equal outside and inside the cell? What happened to those levels after they became about equal over the additional 10 seconds? Why did this happen? My answer: It took 6 seconds to become equal. After they became about equal over the additional 10 seconds they fluctuate back and forth as equal equilibrium is achieved. 2.Cell use O2 and produce CO2 as...

Two ideal springs with spring constant k and relaxed length L are attached to two rigid walls, as shown in Figure 1. The two walls are a total distance D = 3L            apart from one another. The springs are then attached to a ball that has mass m and negligible width, and the ball is then displaced from equilibrium, as shown in Figure 2. The location of the ball is given by the x-coordinate, as measured rightward from the left-most...
