Question
Chapter 23, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for ATP and GTP to be known as "high-energy" compounds needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
ATP refers to a complex organic molecule that has the ability to provide energy to drive many processes in the living cells such as muscle contraction and chemical synthesis. The term guanosine triphosphate refers to the purine nucleoside triphosphate and it acts as one of the building blocks required for the synthesis of RNA during the transcription process.

The average adult consumes approximately 11,700 kJ per day. Assuming that the metabolic pathways leading to ATP synthesis operate at 50% thermodynamic efficiency, about 5850 kJ ends up in the form of synthesized ATP.

Imagine that creatine phosphate, rather than ATP, is the universal energy carrier molecule in the human body. Assume that the cellular concentrations of creatine phosphate, creatine, and phosphate are 21.7 mM, 2.17×10-3 mM, and 6.30 mM, respectively. Calculate the weight of creatine phosphate that would need to be consumed each day by a typical adult human if creatine phosphate could not be recycled. Estimate the free energy of hyrdolysis of creatine phosphate under cellular conditions to determine how many moles are required. Use the standard…
