The entry of na provides a free energy input of 108 kjmol


Problem- Glucose is pumped into some animal cells by a symporter powered by the 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 membrane potential -50 mV (outside negative relative to inside))

How large a concentration of glucose can be generated by this free energy input?

Show all work. I just need a general explanation of it please- Thanks
