Concept explainers
Interpretation: To explain the reason for the production of one more ATP when glucose is obtained from glycogen then when it is obtained directly from the blood.
Concept introduction: Glucose is a monosaccharide with the molecular formula
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that is defined as the energy currency of life and provides energy to carry out the
Glycogenolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glycogen to

- 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. 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.

- Determine the number of ATP molecules that can be formed from the complete oxidation of 10 molecules of acetyl CoA. The overall net equation for the complete oxidation of acetyl CoA is provided below. Acetyl CoA + 3NAD+ + FAD + GDP + Pi + 2H₂O → 2CO2 + HS-CoA + 3NADH + 3H+ + FADH2 + GTP (Given: The oxidation of one NADH yields 2.5 ATP; the oxidation of one FADH2 yields 1.5 ATP; and one GDP yields 1 ATP.)

How many electron carrier molecules (both NADH and FADH₂) are made per pyruvate put in to the Krebs Cycle? How many electron carrier molecules (both NADH and FADH₂) are made by the Krebs Cycle per glucose consumed by the organism? How many electron carrier molecules in total (both NADH and FADH₂) have been made from a single glucose after both glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle? How many electrons are being carried from glucose at this point (Hint: 2 per molecule)?arrow_forward
