[Ca2+] within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is 10-3M. Cytosolic [Ca2+] is 10-7M. Lysosomes in mammalian cells have an internal

pH of 4.0. Cytosolic pH of a typical mammalian cell is 7.0. Which transport reaction has a greater (more positive) Delta Gc, H+ import into lysosomes or Ca2+import into the ER?A. H+ import into the lysosome because it has the steeper concentration gradient.B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient.C. H+ import into the lysosome because it is a monovalent cation.D. Ca2+ import into the ER because it is a divalent cation.E. Delta Gc is the same for both ions because their concentration gradients are the same.

Answer:

B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient

Explanation:

ΔGt =  RT㏑(C₂/C₁)

where ΔGt is the free energy change for transport; R = 8.315 J/mol; T = 298 K; C₂/C₁ is ratio of concentrations inside and outside each organelle.

For Ca²⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑(10⁻³/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt= 3.42 kJ/mol

For H⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑ (10⁻⁴/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt = 2.73 kJ/mol

From the above values, ΔGt is greater for Ca²⁺ import because it has a steeper concentration gradient

anastassius [24]
Injecting salt crystals over the ocean to grow cloud droplets has been proposed in efforts to make the clouds brighter thereby affecting the radiation budget. The light of the sun shines on Earth, some of that light is reflected by the clouds back to space and some of the light reaches the earth and warms our planet. The earth and the hot oceans emit infrared radiation (IR), which we feel as heat. That IR "light"; returns to space through the atmosphere. Most are trapped by greenhouse gases, which keep the earth warm. Soon after, the IR radiation returns to space. Scientists call this "energy budget of the Earth" this cycle of incoming and outgoing energy.

Kobotan [32]
The length of time required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay is its <span>half-life. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". The other choices are incorrect and can be easily neglected. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your help.</span>
