Consider a situation where the electrical potential inside a cell is 173 mV, the electrical potential outside a cell is −60 mV, the concentration of potassium inside the cell is 20 mM and the concentration outside is 166 mM. How many millimoles of glucose are required to create the ATP necessary to transport one mole of potassium into the cell at 25.0 C and pH 7.00? Assume that aerobic respiration is working at maximum efficiency and note that accurate accounting of significant digits will help lead you to the correct answer.

Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion In the presence of oxygen, the oxidation of NADH has a ΔG of -50 kcal/mole and FADH2 has a ΔG of -40 kcal/mole.

The muscle enzyme lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction NADH and NAD+ are the reduced and oxidized forms, respectively, of the coenzyme NAD. Solutions of NADH, but not NAD+, absorb light at 340 nm. This property is used to determine the concentration of NADH in solution by measuring spectrophotometrically the amount of light absorbed at 340 nm by the solution. Explain how these properties of NADH can be used to design a quantitative assay for lactate dehydrogenase.
