Chapter 3, Problem 3D.2P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The entropy of hydrolysis of ATP has to be calculated and its sign has to be accounted for.

Concept introduction:

Entropy is the degree of randomness in the system. As the number of molecules increases during hydrolysis, the entropy also increases and becomes more positive.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The power density of biological cell in watts per cubic metre has to be determined.  Whether the biological cell or computer battery has greater power density has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The amount of power in a given volume is defined as the power density.  It is expressed in the units of Wm3.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of moles of ATP that are required to be hydrolysed to form 1mol of glutamine from glutamate and ammonium ions has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The reaction of conversion of glutamine from glutamate is driven forward by the energy released during the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate to adenosine diphosphate which is an exothermic reaction.
