3. The average human has a total of about 250 grams of ATP. But calculations of the ATP needed to pick up
a bad of potato chips, walk from the kitchen to the living room, sit on the couch, open the bag, grab the TV
remote, select a channel to watch, and eat the first hand full of chips requires roughly 105 kg of ATP!
Even at rest, just breathing requires more ATP than a typical human has. How is this possible that
humans can survive with so little ATP?
