- Protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are important regulatory mechanisms. Protein kinases attach phosphoryl groups to target proteins, while only a phosphatase removes the phosphoryl group.

- The cell membrane has ion channels that can exist in two states, open or closed. When they are open, they let Na+ ions through. The energy of the open state is 4*10^-20 J. higher than the state of the closed channel. a. What proportion of the ion channels are open at a temperature of 20 C? b. How high should the temperature be so that 75% of the channels are open?arrow_forwardIntestinal epithelial cells pump glucose into the cell against its concentration gradient using the Na*-glucose symporter. Recall that the Na+ concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples the "downhill" transport of two Na+ ions into the cell to the "uphill" transport of glucose into the cell. If the Na+ concentration outside the cell ([Na* lout) is 147 mM and that inside the cell ([Na+]in) is 17.0 mM, and the cell potential is -54.0 mV (inside negative), calculate the maximum energy available for pumping a mole of glucose into the cell. Assume the temperature is 37 °C.
