Answer:

Contributes to the membrane potential.

Explanation:

Sodium-potassium pump: In cellular physiology, a protein which is identified in many cells that helping in to maintain the higher concentration of potassium ions inside than that is in the surrounding medium and maintain the lower concentration of sodium ions inside than that of the surrounding medium.

This unbalanced charge transfer contributes in the separation of charge across the cell membrane. Sodium-potassium pump is known for important contributor to action potential which is produce by nerve cells.

The diameter of the He He atom is approximately 0.10 nm nm . Calculate the density of the He atom in g/cm 3 g/cm3 (assuming that
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Density of the He atom = 12.69 g/cm³

Explanation:

From the information given:

Since 1 mole of an atom = 6.022x 10²³ atoms)

1 atom of He = 1  \ atom \times  (\dfrac{1  \ mole}{  6.022 \times  10^{23}  \ atoms}) \times ( \dfrac{4.003 \ grams}{  1  \ mole})

=6.647 \times  10^{-24} \  grams

The volume can be determined as  folows:

since the diameter of the He atom is approximately 0.10 nm

the radius of the He = \dfrac{0.10}{2} = 0.05 nm

Converting it into cm, we have:

0.05 nm \times  \dfrac{10^{-9} \  meters}{ 1  nm} \times \dfrac{ 1 cm }{10^{-2} \ meters}

=5 \times  10^{-9}  \ cm

Assuming that it is a sphere, the volume of a sphere is

= \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

= \dfrac{4}{3}\pi  \times (5\times 10^{-9})^3

= 5.236 \times 10^{-25} \ cm^3

Finally, the density can be calcuated by using the formula :

Density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

D =  \dfrac{6.647 \times  10^{-24} \  grams }{ 5.236 \times 10^{-25} \  cm^3}

D = 12.69 g/cm³

Density of the He atom = 12.69 g/cm³
