Calculate the Amount of ATP in Kg That Is Turned

question 9

Short Answer

Calculate the amount of ATP in kg that is turned over by a resting human every 24 hours. Assume that a typical human contains ~50g of ATP (Mr 505) and consumes ~8000 kJ of energy in food each day. The energy stored in the terminal anhydride bond of ATP under standard conditions is 30.6 kJmol-1. Assume also that the dietary energy is channeled through ATP with an energy transfer efficiency of ~50%.
