Cellular Energy. A typical eukaryotic cell, such as a cell in thehuman body, uses about joule of energy each second.The breakdown of a single molecule of ATP (in which aphosphate separates from ATP to make ADP; see Figure 5.12)releases about joule of energy. (a) About how manymolecules of ATP must be broken down and reassembled eachsecond to keep a eukaryotic cell alive? (b) How many timesdoes this ATP recycling occur each day in a typical cell? (c) Thehuman body has roughly cells. Approximately how manycycles of the ATP reaction occur each day in your body?
