Answer: Cells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate

Chapter , Problem 103AE

(choose chapter or problem)

Cells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a source of energy (Figure 19.16). The conversion of ATP to ADP has a standard free-energy change of -30.5 kJ/mol. If all the free energy from the metabolism of glucose,

\(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}(s)+6 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow 6 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{I})\)

goes into the conversion of ADP to ATP, how many moles of ATP can be produced for each mole of glucose?

Equation transcription:

Text transcription:

{C}_{6}{H}_{12}{O}_{6}(s)+6{O}_{2}(g) rightarrow 6{CO}_{2}(g)+6{H}_{2}{O}({I})
