| Comments |
"Table 2.2 lists ion concentrations and transmembrane potentials for a variety of cell types." "In many animal cells, the chloride and potassium ions have such oppositely poised concentration ratios [with potassium high and chloride low, intracellularly (see Table 2.2)], both ions often being not far from equilibrium with the electrical potential across the membrane. If the concentration gradient for S is not that given by Eq. (2.5), the system has the capacity to perform work, which it will do if the means of doing so are provided." |
