Chapter 17, Problem 78(choose chapter or problem)
Many biochemical reactions that occur in cells require relatively high concentrations of potassium ion (K). The concentration of K in muscle cells is about 0.15 M. The concentration of K in blood plasma is about 0.0050 M. The high internal concentration in cells is maintained by pumping K from the plasma. How much work must be done to transport 1.0 mol K from the blood to the inside of a muscle cell at 37C, normal body temperature? When 1.0 mol K is transferred from blood to the cells, do any other ions have to be transported? Why or why not? 79.
