Question 2 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. Suppose you were to depolarize the membrane (that s, you make it so that now is equal to 0.00V). Would this increase, decrease, or not affect how much Mg2+ was brought into the cell? Briefly justify your answer. Consider only the thermodynamics involved, not the specific proteins.
