What is the ?G for the inward transport of sucrose?
For a particular cell at 25°C, the concentration of sucrose is 10 mM on the inside of the cell and 0.5 mM on the outside, whereas the concentration of sodium ions (Na+) is 0.5 mM on the inside of the cell and 10 mM on the outside. The membrane potential is -150 mV.
Constants: R = 1.987 cal/mol-K; T = 25°C = 298 K; F = 23,062 cal/mole-volt
