| Comments | P.359 4th paragraph: "Mechanisms for active transport of ions across cell membranes are not yet understood (Kaback, 1970). Data collected by Beevers (primary source), Stein (primary source) and Schoffeniels (primary source) demonstrate that the passage of the outer cell membrane by one cation requires the energy of approximately, 0.3 ATP molecule, while the anion follows passively." |
