Not what you're looking for?
Problem:
How much energy is needed for the Na/K pump to move 3 Na out and 2 K in when
Nai (Na inside)= 9.2mM, Nao (outside)= 115, Ki (K inside)= 135mM and Ko (K outside)= 3mM?
Include the effects of membrane potential; it will have to be calculated based on the given ion
concentrations and PNa/Pk of 0.013.
