Answer to Problem 17P
The conversion of rate of energy expenditure from
Explanation of Solution
The given rate of energy expenditure corresponding to a
The conversion of watt into kilojoules per second is done below.
So, the value of rate of energy expenditure in kilojoules per second becomes
The conversion of watt into kilocalories per second is done below.
So, the value of rate of energy expenditure in kilocalories per second becomes
Therefore, the value of rate of energy expenditure, that is
(b)
Interpretation:
The total number of electrons which flows through the mitochondrial electron-transport chain per second under the mentioned conditions is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The set of complex compounds which are responsible for migration of the electrons from the electron donors to the acceptors of the electrons with help of the redox reactions is known as electron transport chain. This electron transport chain also helps in the coupling of transferred electrons with protons transfer inside and outside the cell membrane.

Answer to Problem 17P
The total number of electrons which flows through the mitochondrial electron-transport chain per second under the mentioned conditions is
Explanation of Solution
The given rate of energy expenditure corresponding to a
According to the unit concept, one watt equals to one ampere as watt is used for the measurement of current flow. The half-reactions that takes place during the mitochondrial electron-transport chain is given below.
So, the total potential difference of the two half-reactions is
The relation between watt
Substitute the value of watt and volt in the above expression.
As
Therefore, the total number of electrons which flows through the mitochondrial electron-transport chain per second is
(c)
Interpretation:
The corresponding rate of ATP production is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The molecule which helps in the migration of energy produced during the breakdown of food to the other processes of cells is known adenosine triphosphate or ATP molecule. ATP contains adenine as nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar and three phosphate groups.

Answer to Problem 17P
The corresponding rate of ATP production is
Explanation of Solution
The given rate of energy expenditure corresponding to a
The relation between the total numbers of electrons moving through electron transport chain and the total number of ATP molecules produced is that
Thus, the total number of ATP molecules produced by
The molar concentration of ATP molecules is calculated by the expression given below.
Substitute number of molecules and Avogadro’s number in above formula.
Therefore, the corresponding rate of ATP production is
(d)
Interpretation:
The total time in which an ATP molecule turns over in a person at rest is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The molecule which helps in the migration of energy produced during the breakdown of food to the other processes of cells is known adenosine triphosphate or ATP molecule. ATP contains adenine as nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar and three phosphate groups.

Answer to Problem 17P
The total time in which an ATP molecule turns over in a person at rest is
Explanation of Solution
The total given ATP content of the body is
The rate of ATP production is
The molar mass of ATP is
The mass of ATP is calculated by the expression given below.
Substitute the value of moles and molar mass of TAP in the above expression.
The conversion of
Therefore, the mass of ATP becomes,
The total time for ATP turn over is calculated by dividing the given mass of TAP content in body with
Therefore, the total time in which an ATP molecule turns over in a person at rest is
