Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To identify the compound among ATP and creatine phosphate that releases more energy upon hydrolysis.
Concept introduction: High-energy compounds are those compounds that release a large amount of energy upon hydrolysis. These compounds consist of highly strained bonds which are responsible for the release of a high amount of energy. The compounds containing a phosphate group are examples of high energy compound.
Free energy on hydrolysis is considered as a parameter for determining the strain in the bonds. Greater the strain in the bond more will be the negative value of free energy on hydrolysis and vice-versa.

- Using symbolic formulas such as ADP and PPi, write equations for the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and the hydrolysis of ATP to AMP.arrow_forwardCan a chemical that, in essence, goes through the body unchanged be an essential nutrient? Explain.arrow_forwardWhy are so many different enzymes needed?arrow_forward
- Which enzyme is involved in the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate? a. enolase b. ketolase c. pyruvate kinase d. pyruvate oxidasearrow_forwardMuscle does not provide glucose for the brain during times of starvation. Why? You may choose more than one answer. Muscle lacks sufficient glucose stores. Muscle uses the glucose for movement to go find food. Liver provides glucose for brain Glucagon prevents the secretion of glucose Muscle lacks the enzymes necessary to produce free glucosearrow_forwardWhat is the substrate for pyruvate dehydrogenase? a. pyruvic acid b. water c. hydrogen d. coenzyme Aarrow_forward
- Rigor mortis, the stiffening of muscles. after death is due to the depletion of intracellular ATP. Provide the biochemical basis of rigor mortisarrow_forward1.) Expenditure of energy that is dependent on body weight, sex, age due to a. basal metabolic rate b. environmental temperature c. physical activity d. thermogenic effect 2.) It is associated with food consumption a. thermogenic effect b. basal metabolic rate c. Physical activity d. environmental temperature 3.) It's our daily energy expenditure a. basal metabolic rate b. environmental temperature c. thermogenic effect d. physical activityarrow_forwardThe 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. 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…arrow_forward
- Which of the following are thought to be possible explanations for apparent contradictions in the energy balance as it relates to weight loss and the thermodynamic laws? O self reported energy intake and expenditures. O the assumption that weight loss is based on carbohydrates decreases only. O metabolic efficency D over time as weight loss occurs there will be increases in resting energy expenditure.arrow_forwardome athletes will consume only protein for several days before a competition, which reduces the amount of glycogen in both the muscle fibers and the liver. What impact would this have on their ability to perform activities that require short, powerful bursts of activity? How would it affect their ability to perform endurance activitiesarrow_forward6.
