Cells need a special molecule called ATP to do the work of life. Assume that the energy of one electron from food (CH12OS) can be transformed into the energy of 3 ATP molecules. How many ATP molecules are generated by the breakdown of one sugar molecule during cell respiration?
Like many fruits, apples contain not only fructose and glucose, but also sucrose, a dimerof fructose and glucose. Synthesizing sucrose is endergonic and so not spontaneous. Onerole of ATP is to facilitate reactions that would not occur spontaneously. The threephosphate groups are electron rich and tend to repel each other. Therefore, ATP is a bitlike a compressed spring, ready to kick off one phosphate group releasing energy.Consider: Fructose + glucose --> Sucrose delta G= 6.4 kcal/mol ATP --> ADP + Pi delta G= -7.3 kcal/mol a. Draw a simple energy diagram (including the relative energy of the reactants andproducts) that shows why the sucrose synthesis reaction doesn’t occur spontaneously. b. How could having these two reactions occur at the same time help with sucroseproduction? c. Draw the energy diagram that shows all the reactants and products for the combinedreactions. d. What is delta G for the combined reactions? e. Name a few of the biological processes in the body that…
How much fat (in grams) would the body have to burn to produce the daily minimum requirement of 40 kg ATP from ADP and phosphate? Assume that: 1. The fat is metabolized completely to water and carbon dioxide. 2. The energy that is released can be used entirely for ATP production. 3. Complete oxidation of 1 g of fat to water and CO2 releases 9 kcal or 37 kJ. 4. The Delta G for ATP hydrolysis is -30.5 kJ/mol. You will have to look up one more value online to answer this question, but you do not need to know anything about lipid metabolism. A) approx. 16 to 17 g of fat B) approx. 65 to 66 g of fat C) approx 22 to 23 kg of fat D) approx. 267 to 268 g of fat E) approx. 5 to 6 kg of fat
An animal cell, roughly cubical in shape with side length of 10 μm, uses 109 ATP molecules every minute. assume that the cell replaces this ATP by the oxidation of glucose according to the overall reaction 6O2 + C6H12O6 →6CO2 + 6H2O and that complete oxidation of each glucose molecule produces 30 ATP molecules. how much oxygen does the cell consume every minute? How long will it take before the cell has used up an amount of oxygen gas equal to its own volume?
The standard free energy change for ATP hydrolysis is -7.3kcal/mol. The free energy change under typical cellular conditions is about -12kcal/mol. Why is there a difference? O The hydrolysis of ATP must be more difficult in the cellular environment O There is more ATP and less ADP in the cell O The cellular environment is anaerobic so O2 levels are reduced O The enzymes involved in the reaction are trapped in organelles
How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of 1 mole of glucose to CO2 and H2O yields 686 kcal of free energy and the useful chemical energy available in the high- energy phosphate bond of 1 mole of ATP is 12 kcal?
How many electrons are removed froim sugar (C.H12O6) during cell respiration when it is broken into 6CO, and water?
1. Carbon dioxide +Water+ Energy → Sugar + Oxygen 2. Sugar + Oxygen → Water + Carbon Dioxide + Energy the second reaction shown here (cellular respiration), which of these descriptions compares the products and reactants The process produces ADP as a product, which has a lower energy level compared to the reactants. The process produces inorganic molecules only, which have a lower energy level compared to the products. The process produces ATP as a product, which provides a greater cellular energy compared to the reactants. The process produces heat energy as a byproduct, which causes the reactants to be less energetic compared to the products.

1) At what point during cellular respiration do the electrons have the most energy? At what point do they have the least energy. (You should describe the molecule that electrons are part of at each of these points) 2) When electrons lose energy, that energy goes somewhere. Where does that energy go to immediately, and where is that energy at the end of cellular respiration. 3) Give an example of potential energy in Cellular Respiration. Give an example of kinetic energy in cellular respiration.
Why does the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP involve the release of energy?
Classify each of the following examples as: (1) potential energy, (2) kinetic energy, or (3) a transformation of energy DOD electron transport causes hydrogen ions (H+) to accumulate in a membrane-enclosed compartment sunlight heat ATP supplies one of its phosphates to a membrane protein, activating it so that it can transport a specific molecule glucose (a monosaccharide sugar with the chemical formula C6H1206) 1. potential energy 2. kinetic energy 3. energy transformation
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).
