help fill in these blanks in [] Sodium-potassium ATPases are [passive/active] transporters that move sodium and potassium [with/against] their electrochemical gradients. In other words, potassium and sodium transport, without any coupled process, are [endergonic/exergonic] processes. These transporters are [primary active/facilitated/secondary active] transporters meaning that the transport process is coupled to [ATP hydrolysis/ion diffusion] to make the process spontaneous. P-type ATPases are [acid-base/covalent/nucleophilic] catalysts that become phosphorylated during the transport cycle. The sodium-potassium ATPase moves [3/2/1] cations out of the cell for every [1/2/3] cations it moves into the cell, polarizing the membrane such that the inside is [positive/negative] compared to the outside.
For this practice problem, would the answer be c)NaCl? My reasoning behind this is because molecules under 100 Da can use simple diffusion, while nonpolar molecules and larger molecules like benzene can use channels via facilitated diffusion. However, NaCl dissociates into ions and cannot readily use diffusion?
The average cell at rest hydrolyzes 10,000,000 ATP molecules per second.You are studying the stem cell population found in intestinal Crypts.In the intestine there are s total 5x10^11 cell.The stem cells have a 85% higher metabolism than an average resting cell.ATP hydrlysis yield 7.4 kCal/Mole ATP(Avogadro's number is 6.023x10^23) How many moles of ATP are hydrolyzed per second? The answer should be 7.06 x 10^-6 moles/sec I believe, but I don't know how to get to that answer How many Kcal of energy are used per day by this population of cells? The answer for this one should be 4.514 kCal/day. Assuming 32 ATP per glucose oxidative metabolically how many moles of glucose are consumed per day?
