Question
This is a diffusion topic: During the time the simulation ran, did the concentration of either the oxygen molecules or the carbon dioxide molecules ever reach a state of equilibrium inside and outside of the cell? Why or why not? If equilibrium was reached, how long did it last? Explain why.
The picture where the levels are not leveled was toward the beginning of the 30 seconds. The picture where the levels are even was towards the end of the 30 seconds.

- Demonstrate the listed processesarrow_forwardThere are many things that need to be brought into and out of the cell for cellular respiration. When you look at cellular membranes, including the mitochondrial membrane you can find transporters for many of these things, including glucose and ATP. However, we never find transporters for Oxygen (O2) or Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Why would the cell not require transporters for these molecules?arrow_forwardWrite the chemical equation for cellular respirationarrow_forward

- Suppose that initially there are 100 Nat and 25 K+ ions inside the cell, near the sodium-potassium pump. After how many cycles is the number of Na ions the same as the number of Kions inside the cell? With the initial values for each type of ion provided above, how many ions of each type are in the cell? What is the total number of ions at this time?

You need to figure out the diffusion profile of glucose into the matrix. Assuming glucose has a radius of 1.0nm, you are interested in diffusion from the blood vessels into the matrix, which are 1cm away. The blood viscosity is 3cP, and the glucose concentration in the blood is 4mM. What is the initial flux of glucose?

Predict why this is the case.arrow_forward
