- Note that in Figure 20.28, both the concentration gradient and the Coulomb force tend to move Na+ ions into the cell. What prevents this? Figure 20.28 The semipermeable membrane of a cell has different concentrations of ions inside and out. Diffusion moves the K+ and Cl ions in the direction shown, until the Coulomb force halts further transfer. This results in a layer of positive charge on the outside, a layer of negative charge on the inside, and thus a voltage across the cell membrane. The membrane is normally impermeable to Na+.arrow_forwardNeed asap for all questions please pleasearrow_forwardWhy is it not possible to separate two pieces of paper joined by glue or gum?arrow_forward

Seeing how popular the small quantity that they export has been, they steadily raise their prices. A clothing maker from New York, thinking that he can save money by "cutting out the middleman," decides to travel to the small island and buy the cloth himself. Ignorant of the local custom of offering strangers outrageous prices and then negotiating down, the clothing maker accepts (much to everyone's surpise) the initial price of 400 tepizes/m². The price of this cloth in New York is 120 dollars/yard². Part A If the clothing maker bought 500 m² of this fabric, how much money did he lose? Use 1 tepiz = 0.625 dollar and 0.9144 m = 1 yard.
