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 are antibiotics and when can they not be used
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria. It is the most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting bacterial infections, and antibiotic medications are widely used in the treatment and prevention of such infections. They may either kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics DO NOT work on viruses, such as those that cause: Colds and runny noses, even if the mucus is thick, yellow, or green. Most sore throats (except strep throat) Flu.

Why do conservationists sometimes purposely set a forest fire?
Oxana [17]
Conservationists occasionally light forests on fire to control wild fires. By occasionally burning material (like leaves, branches, etc), those materials cannot build up and cause large and uncontrollable fires later.

What percentage of the energy stored in glucose do humans recover by cellular respiration?
Nady [450]
  • Energy is generated by glyolysis and aerobic respiration which contributes to approximately 252kcal. This is only 37% of total energy of glucose i.e 686kcal/mol.
  • According to the second law of thermodynamics all of the energy cannot  be converted into work done i.e most of the energy is lost in the form of heat.
  • So, there 63% of the energy present in glucose is lost in the form of heat and 37% of the total energy is used for cellular respiration
