Cells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) asa source of energy. The conversion of ATP toADP has a standard free-energy change of -30.5 kJ/mol. Ifall the free energy from the metabolism of glucose, C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g)---->6 CO2(g)- + 6 H2O(l) goes into the conversion of ADP to ATP, how many moles ofATP can be produced for each mole of glucose?
