Question
Chapter 27, Problem 27.52P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An example for the conversion of chemical energy of ATP to electrical energy is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The full form of ATP is adenosine triphosphate which contains three phosphate groups. The energy in human beings is stored as ATP. ATP is synthesized in mitochondria (called power house of the cell) by oxidative phosphorylation. It acts as a source of energy to carry out the biological processes. The hydrolysis of ATP results in the formation of the chemical energy. This energy is further converted into other forms of energy. Diffusion is the movement of ions from higher concentration to lower concentration across the cell membrane.

what is the definition of energy from a metabolic perspective?
Which metabolic pathway is directly responsible for the production of the
most ATP molecules?
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…
