21. While preparing for this test, a student made the questionable decision of consuming an entire bag of Sour Patch Kids candy, which contains 293g of sugar (we will assume this is all converted to glucose for the sake of this question). a. Given that sugar (glucose) is the only source of energy in these candies, how much energy is produced by the body's digestion of the Sour Patch Kids? C6H12O6 + 602 → 6CO2 + 6H2O AH° = = -2801 kJ/mol b. Even though humans have a body temperature of 37°C, we consider a comfortable room temperature to be substantially lower, at about 21°C. Why does this make sense, given that the body uses glucose as its primary fuel source? C. Rather than converting energy from glucose in a single step, human cells break this process down into a large number of complex biochemical processes that you will have learned more about if you took biology. Why do you think this is necessary for the body to function?
