a Imagine that creatine phosphate, rather than ATP, is the universal energy carrier molecule in the human body. Assume that the cellular concentrations of
creatine phosphate, creatine, and phosphate are 21.6 mM, 2.16x10-3 mm, and 3.80 mM, respectively. Calculate the weight of creatine phosphate that
would need to be consumed each day by a typical adult human if creatine phosphate could not be recycled.
(Estimate the free energy of hydrolysis of creatine phosphate under cellular conditions to determine how many moles required. Use
the standard free energy AG = -43.3 kJ/mol, and take the temperature to be 37 °C.)
AG=

- A subject has a resting VOy of 0.24 litres/min and a body surface area of 1.7 m2 Assuming that 1 litre of O consumed will yield 20 kJ of energy, calculate resting metabolic rate for this subject. Your final answer should be expressed as kJ/h/m? and should be to one decimal place.arrow_forwardDiscuss the relative effectiveness of dieting and exercise in losing weight noting that most athletic activities consume food energy at a rate of 400 to 500W while a single cup of yogurt can contain 1360KJ (325 kcal) specifically is it likely that exercise alone will be sufficient to lose weight?

- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body uses to function at rest in a day. This includes the energy required to keep the heart beating, the lungs breathing, the kidneys functioning, and the body temperature stabilized. Approximately 70 percent of an individual’s energy expenditure goes into basal metabolism. The other 30 percent goes into digestion and absorption of nutrients (10%) and physical movement (about 20%). Calculate your basal metabolic rate in Calories using the appropriate equation here: Females: BMR = 655 + (9.6 × wt(kg)) + (1.8 × ht(cm)) – (4.7 × age(yrs)) Males: BMR = 66 + (13.7 × wt(kg)) + (5 × ht(cm)) – (6.8 × age(yrs)) Calculate how many Calories you burn overall in a day.arrow_forwardI played field hockey for 1 hour and my Fitbit Watch says that I expended 1,085 Calories.

The ruby-throated hummingbird consumes about 250 mL of oxygen per hour during its migration across the Gulf of Mexico. Use this number and the data in problem 11 to determine a conversion factor for energy expended per liter of oxygen consumed. If a human being consumes 12.7 kcal/min while running 8-minute miles, how long could a human run on the energy that the hummingbird consumes in its trans-Gulf flight? How many 8-minute miles would a person have to run to lose 1 pound of body fat?arrow_forward
