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.

At body temperature (37°C), k of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is 2.3X10¹⁴ times greater than k of the uncatalyzed reaction. Assuming that the frequency factor A is the same for both reactions, by how much does the enzyme lower the Eₐ?
The ΔG°′ for hydrolytically removing a phosphoryl group from ATP is about twice as large as the ΔG°′ for hydrolytically removing a phosphoryl group from AMP (−14 kJ · mol−1). Explain the discrepancy.
Consider the complete oxidation of one mole of simple TAG containing behenic acid residues (22:0). II. What is the net ATP yield for the complete oxidation of all the fatty acid residues of the simple TAG? (Note: glycerol backbone is not included)
