Question:
The total rate, r (in µmol/s) at which a population of calcium pumps remove calcium from a cell is given by the formula r = dA r¯
, where d (in µmol µm−2 ) is the density of the pumps, A (in µm2 ) is the area of the cell membrane, and r¯ (in s) is the time constant of a single pump.
Suppose we make the following measurements:
d = 0.10
µmol µm
−2
, A = 2.0
× 101
µm 2
, r¯ = 0.10 s.
a. Show that the units are the same on both sides of the equation.
b. What is the relative uncertainty in r?
c. What is the absolute uncertainty in r?
