Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The amount of ATP expended by a Tour de France cyclist is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

ATP is a nucleotide that consists of adenine, ribose, and a triphosphate unit.

ATP is the high-energy molecule that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells.

The expression to calculate the moles of a substance is as follows:

Moles of substance=Mass of substanceMolar mass of substance

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The cost to power a cyclist through the Tour de France is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

ATP is a nucleotide that consists of adenine, ribose, and a triphosphate unit.

ATP is the high-energy molecule that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells.

. Intracellular concentrations in resting muscle are as follows: fructose- 6-phosphate, 1.0 mM; fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, 10 mM; AMP, 0.1 mM; ADP, 0.5 mM; ATP, 5 mM; and P;, 10 mM. Is the phosphofruc- tokinase reaction in muscle more or less exergonic than under stan- dard conditions? By how much?
1 = 2, for sufficiently large values of 1. The energetic equivalent of two molecules of ATP is used to activate an amino acid, yet only one molecule of ATP is used. Explain
Walking consumes approximately 100 kcal/mi. In the hydrolysis of ATP (ATP → ADP + Pi), the reaction that drives muscle contraction, ΔG°′ is −7.3 kcal/mol (−30.5 kJ/mol). Calculate how many grams of ATP must be produced to walk a mile. ATP synthesis is coupled to the oxidation of glucose (ΔG°′ = −686 kcal/mol). How many grams of glucose are actually metabolized to produce this amount of ATP? (Assume that only glucose oxidation is used to generate ATP and that 40% of the energy generated from this process is used to phosphorylate ADP. The gram molecular weight of glucose is 180 g and that of ATP is 507 g.)
