A hypothetical sucrose/chloride symport permits Cl- and sucrose to enter a cell, but only if they pass through the port together, with one Cl- accompanying each sucrose. What is the maximum intracellular sucrose concentration that can be achieved, without using active transport, if the intracellular Cl- concentration is 40 mM, the extracellular Cl concentration is 140 mM, and the extracellular sucrose concentration is 6 mM. Assume a membrane potential of -25 mV (with negative side inside the cell), and a temperature of 350 K.
