Question
Chapter 15, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The way by which the free energy of hydrolysis is altered by the physiological conditions like, intense exercise, rest or changes in the intracellular ionic environment is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The molecule which helps in the migration of energy produced during the breakdown of food to the other processes of cells is known adenosine triphosphate or ATP. ATP contains adenine as nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar and three phosphate groups.

1- ATP consider as an important molecule in metabolism, because :
A) It is one of the four building blocks for DNA synthesis.B) It provides energy coupling between exergonic and endergonic reactions.C) Its terminal phosphate group contains a strong covalent bond that, when hydrolyzed, releases free energy.D) Its hydrolysis provides an input of free energy for exergonic reactions.E) Its terminal phosphate bond has higher energy than the other two.
2- How many ATP yield from complete oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide and water:
A) 38
B) 32C) 2D) 8E)24
Efficiency of ATP Production in Muscle: The transformation of glucose to lactate in myocytes releases only about 7% of the free energy released when glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O. Does this mean that anaerobic glycolysis in muscle is a wasteful use of glucose? Explain.
