Answered

A typical, active young man requires 2,800 kilocalories of food energy a day to fuel metabolism, movement, active transport, etc. The energy stored in the third phosphodiester bond of ATP is 0.0145 kcal/gram. a. If the energy from the man’s food were all stored as ATP, how much ATP would be produced each day from ADP and Pi? b. The man actually has about 50 grams of ATP. What does this mean in terms of ATP hydrolysis and synthesis?

Answer :

Cellular functions continuously drain ATP, which is then replenished by cellular respiration (resulting in a high turnover rate). Energy is generated and nutrients are used intracellularly, inside the cell.

What is cellular respiration?

A sequence of chemical processes known as cellular respiration convert glucose into ATP, which can then be used as energy for a variety of bodily functions. Glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation are the three basic processes that take place during cellular respiration.

What is ATP?

Adenosine 5′-triphosphate abbreviated as ATP. At the cellular level, energy is used and stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Adenine, ribose, and three serially bound phosphate groups make up the structure of ATP, which is a nucleoside triphosphate.
