Summary Introduction

To calculate:

The grams of ATP produced per day at this rate. The pounds of ATP produced per day at this rate.

Introduction:

ATP is also known as Adenosine triphosphate. It is a molecule which stores energy within cells and is the chief energy currency of the cell. It is the final product of the processes of photophosphorylation, cellular respiration, and fermentation.

Gastric juice (pH 1.5) is produced by pumping HCl from blood plasma (pH 7.4) into the stomach. Calculate the amount of free energy required to concentrate the H+ in 1 L of gastric juice at 37 °C. Under cellular conditions,how many moles of ATP must be hydrolyzed to provide this amount of free energy? The free-energy change for ATP hydrolysis under cellular conditions is about −58 kJ/mol . Ignore the effects of the transmembrane electrical potential.
A camel hump contains 12 kg of triacylgylcerols. (a) Given that there are 0.491 moles of ATP per gram of fat, how many moles of ATP could be produced by the fat in the camel hump?(b) If the hydrolysis of ATP releases 7.3 kcal/mole, how many kilocalories are produced by the utilization of the fat?
Twenty-three milligrams of glucose were eaten by the bacteria Sanacoccus pumasareus. Calculate the hypothetical amount of ATP your patient can generate under aerobic respiration with this amount of glucose. (Note: Glucose MW-180.16 g/mole; 1 mole= 6.02 x 1023 molecules (Avogadro's number)). 2.8 x 10^24 ATPs 02.9 x 10^21 ATPs 028 x 10-21 ATP5 029 x 10 24 ATPS Lacks information, cannot be determined
