Bioenergetics and Metabolism

Direction: In a muscle, the extracellular and intracellular concen-trations of Na+ are 150 mM and 12 mM and those of K+ are 2.7 mM and 140 mM respectively. Assume that the temperature is 25°C and that the membnine potential is – 60 mV, with the  interior more negatively charged than the exterior.
(R = 8.314 J mol–1 K–1;  F = 96.45 kJ mol–1 V–1)

  1. The free energy change for the transport of three Na+ out of the cell is
    1. + 1.5 kJ/mol
    2. + 17.4 kJ/mol
    3. + 18.9 kJ/mol
    4. + 36.3 kJ/mol
Correct Option: D

NA
