Intestinal 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 149 mM and that inside the cell ([Na*]in) is 21.0 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.
