Question
Chapter 26, Problem 56P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason of counting of GTP as ATP in energy calculation needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: Glycolysis is the first step that forms pyruvate. In the presence of oxygen means aerobic respiration, this pyruvate enters in the Krebs cycle and extracts energy in the form of electrons transfer. The products of citric acid cycles act as precursors for electron transport chains and produces ATP as energy coins.

Why guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is important in cellbioenergetics ?
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…
