Consider one such cell where the magnitude of the potential difference is 40 mV, and the inner surface of the membrane is at a h

igher potential than the outer surface. A sodium ion (Na ) is initially just outside the cell membrane (initially at rest). How much work (in J) is required for a cell to absorb the ion, so that it moves from the exterior of the cell to the interior

Answer: W = 6.4x10⁻²¹J

Explanation: <u>Work</u> is the energy transferred to or from an object due to the application of a force along a displacement.

The ion Na is gaining energy to move from a lower potential to a higher one.

For this to happen, the work done is calculated as

W=q.\Delta V

in which

W is work in Joules (J)

q is charge in Coulomb (C)

\Delta V is potential difference in Volts (V)

The ion Na has one positive charge. In coulombs, the charge is

q = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

The potential difference in Volts is

\Delta V = 40x10⁻³ or 4x10⁻²V

Calculating

W=q.\Delta V

W = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹. 4x10⁻²

W = 6.4 x 10⁻²¹ J

The work done to move an ion of sodium from the exterior to the interior is 6.4 x 10⁻²¹ J.

Cual es la importancia de la genética y la herencia, desde el punto de vista científico y social?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

La genética ayuda a explicar: Lo que nos hace únicos. Por qué los miembros de la familia tienen rasgos en común. Por qué algunas enfermedades, como la diabetes o el cáncer, vienen de familia, La genética médica es una especialidad médica que trata con el diagnóstico y manejo de las enfermedades hereditarias. La finalidad de esta especialidad es brindar una medicina personalizada al paciente y por ende en algunos casos, tratamientos personalizados,los científicos pueden hacer ciertas combinaciones entre genes de diferentes especies, para así solucionar problemas y mejorar el rendimiento económico-comercial de las explotaciones. Se pueden buscar curas a enfermedades genéticas para que las nuevas generaciones nazcan más sanas.

SOVA2 [1]
Although the diagram is not provided, I have encountered it before. The region labelled "B" is a ring with two small particles on it. This ring is the electron cloud and is where the electrons move. Therefore, it is negatively charged.
