Chapter 4, Problem 25RQ
Summary Introduction

To determine: The reaction which is utilizing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) would have larger or smaller activation energy.

Introduction: Capacity to do work is called energy. Chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of molecules. The breakdown of the chemical bonds releases the free energy which is used to continue the reaction.

The hydrolysis of the phosphoester bond of ATP releases a large amount of free energy. True or false?
when endergonic reaction is driven by splitting the ATP molecules, such that both these reactions occur simultaneously, the two part reaction is called?
A 75 kg person doing light work requires about 3000 kcal of food energy perday, 40% of which is actually used by the body’s cells. (The other 60% is lostas heat and in waste products.) Before being used by the cells, effectively allof this energy is stored in ATP, which is then cleaved into ADP and PO3−2 , with the release of 12.5 kcal per mole of ATP.(a) How many moles of ATP are turned over per day in this fashion? Whatmass of ATP does this correspond to? (The molecular weight of ATP is507 g/mol.)(b) The body actually contains approximately 5 g ATP. Estimate the averagerecycle time for an ATP molecule. You see that it is much more efficientto reuse ADP rather than to synthesize it de novo (from scratch).
