6. For a typical vertebrate cell with a membrane potential of 0.050 V (inside negative), what is the free-energy change for transporting 1 mol of Ca2 from the cell into the blood at 37 °C? Assume the concentration of Ca+2 inside the cell is 145 mM and in blood plasma it is 25 mm. Does this transport take place spontaneously or not? (R= 8.315 J/mol.K)
