Chapter 6, Problem 3VCQ
Figure 6.14 The hydrolysis of one ATP molecule releases 7.3 kcal/mol of energy (?G = -7.3 kcal/mol of energy). If it takes 2.1 kcal/mol of energy to move
one Na+ across the membrane (?G = +2.1 kcal/mol of energy), how many sodium ions could be moved by the hydrolysis of one ATP molecule?

In the following situations, what is the free energy change if 1 mole of Na+is transported across a membrane from a region where the concentration is1 μM to a region where it is 100 mM?(Assume T = 37 °C.) (a) In the absence of a membrane potential. (b) When the transport is opposed by a membrane potential of 70 mV. (c) In each case, will hydrolysis of 1 mole of ATP suffice to drive the transport of 1 mole of ion, assuming pH 7.4 and the following cytoplasmic concentrations: ATP = 4.60 mM, Pi = 5.10 mM, ADP = 310 μM?
Each proton that moves across the membrane releases about 14 kJ/mol of energy. Given that ATP requires 30.5 kJ/mol of energy to form, how many protons cross the membrane per ATP synthesized? (Hint: can you have half a proton?)
You know that the free energy of ATP hydrolysis depends on the ATP/ADP ratio.
Given that under standard conditions DGo = -30.5 kJ/mol, what should be DG of ATP hydrolysis under normal intracellular concentrations?
[ATP] = 2.3 mM, [ADP] = 0.25 mM, [Pi] = 1.65 mM
What is the energy of ATP hydrolysis in a cell that is ATP-depleted?
[ATP] = 0.1 mM, [ADP] = 2.8 mM, [Pi] = 1.65 mM

If the capacitance of a mitochondrion is 2.9×10^−11F and the potential difference between the interior and exterior is 0.20 V, how much electrical energy does it store? Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units. If a mitochondrion were to use all of its stored electrical energy to produce ATP molecules, and each ATP molecule requires 9.5×10−20J, how many molecules could it produce? (In reality, ATP molecules are produced by the flow of protons caused by the proton motive force, and not by the direct conversion of electrical energy stored by the capacitance of mitochondria.)arrow_forward
