Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction for conversion of creatine phosphate to creatine has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
1. Nitrogen-containing base
2. Pentose sugar
3. Phosphate group
Examples of nucleosides are GTP and ATP. Nucleotide on hydrolysis releases energy by cleavage of phosphoanhydride bond. The reaction of hydrolysis of ATP is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether energy is released or absorbed in formation of creatine by creatine phosphate has to be determined.

- Running at a rate of 6 mi/h uses 704 Calories in an hour. Convert this value to (a) calories; (b) kilocalories; (c) joules; (d) kilojoules.arrow_forwardPerform the conversions between energy units. 441kJ kJ 2715kcal = kcal 6.45 × 10°/ =arrow_forwardOne mole of ethanol (C 2H 6O) releases 327 kcal when burned, whereas one mole of hydrogen (H 2) releases only 68.4 kcal/mol. How many kcal/g are released when each of these fuels is burned? On a per gram basis, which substance would be a better source of energy?arrow_forward
- If you begin an exercise program and burn 5 Calories per minute by walking, how many hours of walking per day would you have to do in two weeks to lose 7 pounds? You must burn an extra 3500 Calories to lose 1 pound of body weight.arrow_forwardA pound of body fat stores an amount of chemical energy equivalent to 3500 Cal. When sleeping, the average adult burns or expends about 0.45 Cal/h for every pound of body weight. How many Calories would a 171 lb person burn during 10 hours of sleep? (Note that 1 Cal = 1 kcal.) A pound of body fat stores an amount of chemical energy equivalent to 3,500 Cal. When sleeping, the average adult burns or expends about 0.42 Cal/h for every pound of body weight.How long would the person have to sleep continuously to lose 1 lb of body fat? (Assume the person weighs 155 lb.)arrow_forwardRunning a mile in ten minutes burns between 100 and 120 calories for a 150-pound person. For the same run, a 200-pound person needs about 135-155 calories. In grams, how much ATP is required for this workout? ATP has a molecular mass of 507 g/mol. ATP's g-phosphate group hydrolysis has a free energy of -32 kJ/mol. One calorie is equal to 1000 calories, and one calorie is equal to 4.184 kilojoules (kJ). How much glucose do you need to fuel this run, both aerobically and anaerobically? Assume that one glucose molecule yields 30 ATP when processed aerobically. Molality of glucose is 180g/mol.arrow_forward
- Your daily latte contains 290 Calories. You want to lose weight by giving up your morning latte and drinking water instead.how many days will it take you to lose 9 pounds? You must burn an extra 3500 Calories to lose 1 pound of body weight.arrow_forwardVanillin is a natural constituent of vanilla that is also manufactured for use in artificial vanilla flavoring. The combustion of 1.013 g of vanillin, C3H&O3, in a bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 4.90 kJ °C-1 causes the temperature to rise from 24.89°C to 30.09°C. What is the heat of combustion of vanillin in terms of kcal per gram?arrow_forwardPerform the conversions between energy units. 663 kJ=663 kJ= JJ 2655 kcal=2655 kcal= kJkJ 9.49×106 J=9.49×106 J= kcalarrow_forward
- [References] A serving size of nine cookies contains 7 g of fat, 24 g of carbohydrates, and 9 g of protein. If walking 1 mile consumes 170 kJ of energy, how many miles must you walk to burn off enough calories to eat nine cookies? Assume the energy content of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are 8 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g, and 4 kcal/g, respectively. 1 cal = 4.184 J. miles Submit Answer Try Another Version 3 item attempts remainingarrow_forwardFor the following reaction: C(s) + O2(g) -> CO2(g) ΔΔH = -94.0 kcal Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? How much energy is given off when 75.3 g of carbon dioxide is produced?arrow_forwardA 0.0500-mol sample of a nutrient substance is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 2.00 x 102 g H₂O. If the molar mass of this nutrient substance is 114 g/mol, what is the fuel value (in nutritional Cal) if the temperature of the water increased 4.70°C?
