A plant cell membrane has a permeability coefficient for glucose of \(P = 1.2\times10^{-5}\) cm s⁻¹. The external glucose concentration is \(0.8\) mM and the internal concentration is \(0.2\) mM at 25 °C.\n(a) Calculate the passive diffusive flux \(J_{passive}\) (in mol cm⁻² s⁻¹) using Fick's law \(J = P(C_{out}-C_{in})\).\n(b) If a carrier‑mediated active transport system adds an influx of \(2\times10^{-7}\) mol cm⁻² s⁻¹ into the cell, determine the total net influx of glucose.
