Question 1 6 pts All forms of life require Mg2+. Two of the proteins used by bacteria to import Mg²+ from the environment are CorA and MgtA. You encounter a cell whose internal Mg2+ concentration is 0.25 mM, while the environmental Mg2+ concentration is 0.60 mM. The environmental temperature is 37 C, and for moving an ion into the cell is -0.04 V. What is the free energy change associated with moving one mole of Mg2+ into the cell? Give your answer in terms of J/mol. Partial credit will not be possible.
