The magnitude of the work done by the electric field of the membrane is <u>W = 1.28 × 10⁻²⁰ Joules</u>.

We start with the necessity to take into account a value for the voltage present there in order to solve this problem by first considering that the membranes have two layers, one internal and one external, each responsible for producing a potential difference between the two levels.

As a result, in order to find a solution, it is necessary to take into account the potential difference between the two surfaces. In this instance, we'll assume a particular value for the load, but the recipient is free to substitute a different value if they prefer.

The product of the potential difference and the charge is used to define the work that an electric field performs. The charge of the potassium ion will be equal to that of its electron, so,

q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ Coulombs

Then the Work would be:

W = Vq

Here,

v = Potential difference

q = Charge

The 80mV potential difference we will have is quantified as follows:

W = (80mV (1V/1000mV))( 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

W = 1.28 × 10⁻²⁰ Joules is the amount of work that the membrane's electric field has produced.

What cellular structures can be observed with the aid of light microscopy and electron microscopy?​
Serjik [45]

With a light microscope one can view the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum, large vacuoles etc

The resolution of a light microscope is dependent on the wavelength of light that is the main beam of illumination. Light has approximately 0.4 um (UV)- 0.7um (Infrared) wavelength. Organelles smaller than about 0.5 um will be difficult to discern with a light microscope.

With an electron microscope one can view, in addition, even the ribosomes and mitochondria, chromosomes, tubules etc.

An electron microscope can discern very minute details of a cell. This is because its resolution is dependent on the very small wavelength of a beam of electrons which is approximately 0.002 um (about 10,000 times powerful than a light microscope)
