NEED HELP ASAP! WILL LIKE! Interstitial epithelial cells pump glucose into the cell against its concentration gradient using Na+-glucose symporter. Recall that Na+ concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples to 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+]out) is 155 mM abd that inside the cell ([Na+]in) is 23.0 mM, and the cell potential is -51.0 mV (inside negative), calculate the maximum energy available for pumping a mole of glucose into the cell. Assume the temperature is 37°C.

Intestinal epithelial cells pump glucose into the cell against its concentration gradient using the -glucose symporter. Recall that the concentration is significantly higher outside the cell than inside the cell. The symporter couples the "downhill" transport of two ions into the cell to the "uphill" transport of glucose into the cell. If the concentration outside the cell is and that inside the cell is , and the cell potential is (inside negative), calculate the maximum energy available for pumping a mole of glucose into the cell. Assume the temperature is .
