Membrane transport 2
Free diffusion of ions - the Nernst-Planck equation, dimensionless potential. Non-free diffusion through a pored membrane.
Non-free diffusion through a pored membrane:
To describe the transport through a pored membrane we use Fick's law, which we simplify with the following restrictions:
All concentrations stay constant with time
There is a linear dependence of concentration on the distance
