Ionic Relations of Nitella translucens
The ionic state of single internodal cells of a fresh water characean, Nitella translucens, has been studied. In mature cells the vacuolar concentrations were 78 mM K, 60 mM Na, and 151 mM Cl, compared with concentrations of 0.1 mM K, 1.0 mM Na, and 1.3 mM Cl in the bathing medium. The results suggest an active influx of potassium and an active efflux of sodium at the plasmalemma, and an active...
متن کاملPlasmodesmata in Nitella translucens: structure and electrical resistance.
Electrical resistance measurements, made with intracellular microelectrodes on a system consisting of two giant internodal cells of Nitella translucent joined by a node, show that the specific resistance of the node is 50 times smaller than the specific resistance of the internodal cell plasmalemma. The node is a complex structure of small cells which separate the internodal cells by a single l...
متن کاملSteady-state currents in sharp stochastic ratchets.
We develop and analyze a model for particle transport in a stochastic ratchet with a periodic piecewise linear potential, with diffusion coefficient D, where the force is discontinuous in position and fluctuating in time via additive telegraph noise with correlation time tau. We find asymptotic formulas for the steady-state particle current J for large and small D and tau. For example, for smal...
متن کاملQuantum Computing with Steady State Spin Currents
Sutton, Brian M. M.S.E.C.E., Purdue University, December 2013. Quantum Computing with Steady State Spin Currents. Major Professor: Supriyo Datta. Many approaches to quantum computing use spatially confined qubits in the presence of dynamic fields to perform computation. These approaches are contrasted with proposals using mobile qubits in the presence of static fields. In this thesis, steady st...
متن کاملFactors Affecting the Fluxes of Potassium and Chloride Ions in Nitella translucens
A more complete study of ionic concentrations and fluxes in the giant internodal cells of Nitella translucens has been made. The vacuolar concentrations were 76 mM K and 170 mM Cl. The content of the chloroplast layer was 135 mmicromoles K/cm(2) and 215 mmicromoles Cl/cm(2); in a layer 9 micro thick these correspond to concentrations of 150 mM K and 240 mM Cl. Such a high level of chloride requ...
