What is the ratio of glucose concentration outside

Reference no: EM13160925

Glucose is pumped into some animal cells by a symporter powered by simultaneous entry of Na+. The entry of Na+ provides a free-energy input of 10.8 kJ/mol under typical cellular conditions (external [Na+] = 143 mM, internal [Na+] =14 mM and a membrane potential = -50 mV). What is the ratio of glucose concentration outside and inside cells?
