The biochemistry that takes place inside cells depends on various elements, such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, that are dissolved in water as ions. These ions enter cells through narrow pores in the cell membrane known as ion channels. Each ion channel, which is formed from a specialized protein molecule, is selective for one type of ion. Measurements with microelectrodes have shown that a diameter potassium ion channel carries a current of role="math" localid="1649134390247" .
a. How many potassium ions pass through if the ion channel opens for ?
b. What is the current density in the ion channel?
Both batteries in FIGURE Q27.8 are ideal and identical, and all lightbulbs are the same. Rank in order, from brightest to least bright, the brightness of bulbs a to c. Explain.
The conductive tissues of the upper leg can be modeled as a 40-cm-long, 12-cm-diameter cylinder of muscle and fat. The resistivities of muscle and fat are 13 Ω m and 25 Ω m, respectively. One person’s upper leg is 82% muscle, 18% fat. What current is measured if a 1.5 V potential difference is applied between the person’s hip and knee?
