Question
A) weight of ATP used in human adult in 24hr Calculated 69.2 kg B) Help - percentage of the persons body weight that this represents?
A 70 kg (154 lb) adult requires a calorie intake of 2,000 kcal (8,360 kJ) of food per day
(24 h). The food is metabolized and the free energy is used to synthesize ATP
for useful work. [FYI: Each calorie ("Calorie") listed on food labels corresponds to
1.0 kcal in biochemical terms; the formula weight of ATP is 505 g/mol; and eh mole of
ATP is equivalent to 30.5 kJ]. Assuming that the efficiency of converting food energy
into ATP is 50%, calculate the following:
