Summary Introduction

To determine:

Whether “glutamic acid + ammonia + ATP” or “glutamine + ATP +Pi” has more free energy.

Concept introduction:

Gibbs free energy is the energy present in the system that can perform work under the condition of uniform temperature and pressure. It is denoted by G.

In a chemical reaction, change in free energy of initial and final state is represented by ΔG . If ΔG is negative then the reaction will proceed spontaneously and if it is positive the reaction will require input of energy from outside to proceed.

Consider the following chemical reaction: Glucose + ATP → Glucose-6-Phosphate + ADP + Pi Given the following information, calculate the actual free energy change (G’) of this reaction. G’ of Glucose + ATP → Glucose-6-Phosphate + ADP + Pi = -16.7 kJ/mol [Glucose] = 5.0 mM [ATP] = 1.85 mM [Glucose-6-Phosphate] = 0.083 mM [ADP] = 0.14 mM [Pi] = 1.0 mM Temperature = 37 C R (Gas Constant) = 8.314 J/mol•K
As a result of an experiment following measurements were obtained from a cell: ATP concentration of 0.5 mM, ADP concentration of 0.1 mM, inorganic phosphate (Pi) concentration of 2 mM. Under these conditions calculate the actual free energy (AG) of the reaction of hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi. (The standard energy (AG") of ATP = -31 kl/mol; RT = 2.58 kJ/mol) Select one: a. -28 kJ/mol b. -33 kJ/mol C. -42 kJ/mol d. -19 kJ/mol
Gastric juice (pH 1.5) is produced by pumping HCl from blood plasma (pH 7.4) into the stomach. Calculate the amount of free energy required to concentrate the H+ in 1 L of gastric juice at 37 °C. Under cellular conditions,how many moles of ATP must be hydrolyzed to provide this amount of free energy? The free-energy change for ATP hydrolysis under cellular conditions is about −58 kJ/mol . Ignore the effects of the transmembrane electrical potential.
