A certain plant cell uses a molecular motor to transport large molecules across the cell. The energy for the motor is provided by ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The force exerted by the motor is given by F = 7/x What is the work done by this motor between the distances of 1 and 3 distance units? Hint: evaluate the following integral. The unit for work in this case is picojoules (pJ or 10-12 J). 4 W = -S₁² =dx A certain plant cell uses a molecular motor to transport large molecules across the cell.
