Under Physiological Conditions the Complete Oxidation of Glucose to Carbon

question 7

Short Answer

Under physiological conditions the complete oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen has a △G of -2900 kJ/mol glucose. This process can be coupled to the synthesis of ~32 mol ATP. The △G of the coupled reactions to make ATP is -1300 kJ/mol glucose. Calculate the △G for the synthesis of ATP from ADP.
