- 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?arrow_forwardif a 12 oz energy drink has a total of 39 grams of carbohydrates (total sugars 39 grams) calculate the moles of ATP produced in the body when 1 oz of the drink is consumed assuming all the sugars in 1 oz of the drink are composed of only glucose.arrow_forwardA certain fruit has a metabolizable energy of 0.4 kcal/g normally and 2.4 kcal/g after it has b een dried. Assume the fresh fruit consists of only water, sugar, and nonmetab olizable matter and find themass fraction of each in the fruit and in the fruit after it is dried, given that sugar has an energy content of 4 kcal/g.arrow_forward
- . 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?arrow_forwarda) Calculate the amount of energy released per gram from each type of food tested, based on the chart. b) How did the different types of food compare based on your prediction, which stated that foods with higher fats yield higher calories than foods with proteins and carbohydrates.arrow_forwardDefine fermentation. Name the enzyme which converts(a) milk into curd (yogurt)(b) Cane sugar into glucose and fructose(c) glucose into ethanolarrow_forward
- All are true of the Embden-Myerhof pathway EXCEPT Question 88 options: A) the products pyruvic acid and ATP under aerobic conditions enter the Krebb's (TCA) cycle to produce more ATP B) the products pyruvic acid and ATP under anaerobic conditions are converted to lactic acid and two additional ATP C) Cells use this pathway when they have no energy needs D) Begins with the conversion of glucose into glucose-6-phosphatearrow_forwardDraw the cardiac pharmaceutical digitalis to represent the energy form. RO CH3 k I CH3 OH Rarrow_forwardWhich is a greater source of energy as food, 5 g of fat or 9 g of carbohydrate?arrow_forward
- Why does Glycolysis only release a small amount of the total available energy that can be harvested from glucose?arrow_forwardThe first step of the metabolic process known as glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to glucose- 6-phosphate. This process has a positive value for rG' Glucose + Pi Glucose-6-phosphate + H2O rG' = +13.8 kJ/mol-rxn This reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP ATP + H2O ADP + Pi rG' = -30.5 kJ/mol-rxn What is the sum of these two equations and the value of rG' for the coupled reaction? Is the coupled reaction product-favored at equilibrium?arrow_forwardNADH and FADH2 can "create" ATP only if the cell can do electron transport True Falsearrow_forward
