The complete combustion of glucose results in DGo= -2870 kJ/mol, answer the following questions. Show your work in the response.
Based on the amount of ATP molecules produced, how much Gibbs free energy is stored in these molecules under standard conditions?
Based on the results in part 1, what is the efficiency of the energy conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide and water?
The free energy from the hydrolysis of ATP under standard conditions, is DG0 = -30.5 kJ/mol. Assume the temperature in a particular cell is 320 K, the concentration of ATP is 0.35 mg/mL, the concentration of ADP is 0.035 mg/mL, and the concentration of phosphate is 0.02 mg/mL. What is the DG for ATP hydrolysis under these conditions?
Based on the results in part 3, what is the efficiency of the energy conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide and water?
How can the less than 100 % energy conversion in part 4 be explained?
