Chapter 27.5, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fact that whether K > 1 or K < 1 for the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to glucose to give glucose 6-phosphate is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

For a spontaneous reaction, the value of change in Gibb’s free energy or ΔG is negative.

The relation between ΔG and K states that ΔG for a reaction is equal to RTlnK. This implies that the equilibrium constant for a spontaneous reaction is greater than one, that is, K>1.

List the following in order of increasing tendency to accept electrons: (a) α-ketoglutarate + CO2 (yielding isocitrate); (b) oxaloacetate; (c) O2; (d) NADP+.
Assume that in a certain cell, the ratio of products/reactants or Keq = 747.1 (Keq is dimensionless) for the reaction Glucose + ATP <> Glucose-6-P + ADP, at a particular instant, the concentrations of each compound were Glucose =2.0M, ATP =7.7M, ADP =10.2M and G-6-P =21.5M. Calculate the difference (dimensionless) between Keq and the ratio of products/ractants at this instance, in this cell, to five significant figures.
. Each gram of mammalian skeletal muscle consumes ATP at a rate of about 1x 10-3 mol/min during contraction. Concentrations of ATP and creatine phosphate in muscle are about 4 mM and 25 mM, respectively, and the density of muscle tissue can be taken to be about 1.2 g/cm'. (a) How long could contraction continue using ATP alone? (b) If all creatine phosphate were converted into ATP and utilized as well, how long could contraction continue? (c) What do these answers tell you?
