The oxidation of 1 mol of glucose supplies enough meta-bolic energy to form 36 mol of ATP. Oxidation of 1 mol of a typ-ical dietary fat like tristearin (C₅₇H₁₁₆O₆) yields enough energyto form 458 mol of ATP. (a) How many molecules of ATP canform per gram of glucose? (b) Per gram of tristearin?
. Each gram of mammalian skeletal muscle consumes ATP at a rate of
about 1x 10-3 mol/min during contraction. Concentrations of
ATP and creatine phosphate in muscle are about 4 mM and 25 mM,
respectively, and the density of muscle tissue can be taken to be
about 1.2 g/cm'.
(a) How long could contraction continue using ATP alone?
(b) If all creatine phosphate were converted into ATP and utilized as
well, how long could contraction continue?
(c) What do these answers tell you?
Fatty acids cannot be converted into carbohydrates in the body as the
following reaction is not possible.
(A) Conversion of glucose-6-phosphate into glucose
(B) Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose-6-phosphate
O(C)
Transformation of acetyl CoA to pyruvate
(D) Formation of acetyl CoA from fatty acids
