Answer to Problem 22.83UTC

Solution: 120 moles of ATP is consumed when a person hikes for 2.5 hours.

Explanation of Solution

Given: On a hike, one expend 350 kcal/h.

Let us first find out the conversion factor for the conversion of 1 mole of ATP into kcal.

1 mole of ATP = 7.3 kcal

Thus, the conversion factor is given as:

Conversion factor = 7.3 kcalmole

Also, it is given that in 1 hours, 350 kcals are expended. Thus, the conversion factor to convert hours to kcals is given as:

1 hour = 350 kcal

Hence, the conversion factor is:

Conversion factor = 350 kcal1 h

Now, we can find out the energy expended in 2.5 hours using conversion factor:

Energy Expended = 2.5 h × 350kcal1h × 1 mole of ATP7.3 kcal

Energy Expended = 120 moles of ATP

Conclusion

When a person hikes for 2.5 hours, 120 moles of ATP is consumed.
