Question
Chapter 31, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The energetic equivalent of 2 ATP molecules is used to activate one amino acid, but only 1 ATP molecule is used. The reason for this statement should be determined.
Concept introduction:
ATP (adenosine monophosphate) is an organic molecule and the chemical that provides energy to the cell. Muscular contractions, chemical synthesis, and nerve impulse propagation, all these activities are run by ATP derived energy. It is synthesized in the mitochondria; therefore, mitochondria istermed as the powerhouse of the cell.

a. Explain what is meant by the derivative P'(5). What are its
units?
b. Which is larger, P'(2) or P'(3)? Give a reason for your
answer.
Intramitochondrial ATP concentrations are about 5 mM, and phosphate
concentration is about 10 mM. If ADP is five times more abundant than
AMP, calculate the molar concentrations of ADP and AMP at an energy
charge of 0.85. Calculate AG for ATP hydrolysis at 37 °C under these condi-
tions. The energy charge is the concentration of ATP plus half the concen-
tration of ADP divided by the total adenine nucleotide concentration:
[ATP] + 1/2[ADP]
[ATP] + [ADP] + [AMP]

- P3D.2 In biological cells, the energy released by the oxidation of foods is stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP or ATP“).The essence of ATP's action is its ability to lose its terminal phosphate group by hydrolysis and to form adenosine diphosphate (ADP or ADP): ATP* (aq) + H,O() → ADP* (aq) + HPO (aq) + H,O*(aq) At pH = 7.0 and 37°C (310K, blood temperature) the enthalpy and Gibbs energy of hydrolysis are A,H =-20kJ mol and A,G=-31 kJ mol", respectively.
