A typical cell membrane in an animal maintains a potential difference across the membrane of ?V = 70 mV and the membrane has a thickness of about 8 nm. The capacitance of the membrane is about 1 microFarad per square cm.

(A) If we model the membrane by a simple "two thin sheets of charge" model separated by 8 nm with nothing between them, what would be the electric field be between the sheets and what would the charge density on the sheets of the membrane? Explain your reasoning.

(B) In order to maintain the potential difference across the two sides of the membrane, cells carry ions across a membrane against the field ("uphill") using a variety of active transport mechanisms. One mechanism does so by using up some of the cell's stored energy converting ATP to ADP. How much work does it take to carry one sodium ion (charge = +e) across the membrane against the field? Calculate your answer in eV/ion, Joules/ion, and kilcalories/mole (the last for 1 mole of sodium ions).

i dont know but

explanation:

whoever your teacher is, deserves a raise for using pokemon as an example

im sorry i dont know

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !

b. false

explanation:

suppose a rock in free fall is dropped off a cliff. after falling for 5 seconds, its speed would not be 100 m/s.
