Summary Introduction

To calculate:

The grams of ATP produced per day at this rate. The pounds of ATP produced per day at this rate.

Introduction:

ATP is also known as Adenosine triphosphate. It is a molecule which stores energy within cells and is the chief energy currency of the cell. It is the final product of the processes of photophosphorylation, cellular respiration, and fermentation.

How many ATP molecules could maximally be generated from one molecule of glucose, if the complete oxidation of 1 mole of glucose to CO2 and H2O yields 686 kcal of free energy and the useful chemical energy available in the high- energy phosphate bond of 1 mole of ATP is 12 kcal?
Which of the following statements concerning ATP is true? a. The free energy value for the hydrolysis of ATP is nearly the same for ADP. b. The free energy value for the hydrolysis of ATP is greater than that for ADP. c. ATP hydrolysis is more likely at pH 5 than at pH 7. d. One mole of glycerate-1,3-bisphosphate can phosphorylate one mole of AMP to yield ATP.
if an  8.4-oz (250 mL) energy drink can has 27 grams of sugar,  calculate the moles of ATP produced in the body when 1 oz of the drink is consumed assuming all the sugars in 1 oz of the drink are composed of only glucose.
