Glucose is pumped into some animal cells

Reference no: EM13690846

Question- 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?

Here is the problem which I am struggling on, please help me!
