Chapter 20, Problem 9P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The free energy requirement for the synthesis of 1 mol of ATP under steady state concentrations of ATP, ADP, and P_i

Introduction:

The phosphorylation of ADP for the synthesis of ATP in the presence of sunlight is called as photophosphorylation. In living organisms, energy can be obtained either directly from sunlight or by the use of redox reaction.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The minimum voltage drop necessary (during transfer of a pair of electrons) to synthesize ATP under steady state concentration.
