a Imagine that creatine phosphate, rather than ATP, is the universal energy carrier molecule in the human body. Assume that the cellular concentrations of creatine phosphate, creatine, and phosphate are 21.6 mM, 2.16x10-3 mM, and 3.80 mM, respectively. Calculate the weight of creatine phosphate that would need to be consumed each day by a typical adult human if creatine phosphate could not be recycled. (Estimate the free energy of hydrolysis of creatine phosphate under cellular conditions to determine how many moles required. Use the standard free energy AG = -43.3 kJ/mol, and take the temperature to be 37 °C.) AG= kJ/mol

Intracellular concentrations in resting muscle are as follows: fructose- 6-phosphate, 1.0 mM; fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, 10 mM; AMP, 0.1 mM; ADP, 0.5 mM; ATP, 5 mM; and P, 10 mM. Is the phosphofructokinase reac- tion in muscle more or less exergonic than under standard conditions? By how much?
Consider ten glucose molecules that enter a cell. How many ATP can be generated by the complete catabolism of these into CO2 and H2O? If all ten are first incorporated into glycogen, liberated from glycogen, and then fully catabolized into CO2 and H2O, does the ATP tally increase, decrease or stay the same? Consider that 1 UTP = 1 ATP. Explain. Describe the processes which produce ATP and provide a balanced equation of glucose, CO2, H2O and O2
Intramitochondrial ATP concentrations are about 5 mM, and phosphate concentration is about 10 mM. If ADP is five times more abundant than AMP,calculate the molar concentrations of ADP and AMP at an energy charge of 0.85. Calculate ∆G for ATP hydrolysis at 37 °C under these conditions.The energy charge is the concentration of ATP plus half the concentration of ADP divided by the total adenine nucleotide concentration.
Calculate the number of ATPS generated by the complete metabolic oxida- tion of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol). Hydrolysis of the triacylglycerol occurs at the cell surface. Consider the energy yield from catabolism of glycerol, as well as from the fatty acids. Calculate the ATP yield per carbon atom oxidized, and compare it with the energy yield from glucose.
is this stement false? Intracellular concentrations in resting muscle are as follows: Fructose-6-phosphate (1.0 mM)Fructose-(1-6)-bisphosphate (10.0 mM)AMP (0.1 mM)ADP (0.5 mM)ATP (5.0 mM)Pi (10.0 mM)Under the above conditions the Phosphofructokinase reaction in muscle is more exergonic than under standard conditions.
The conversion of lactate to glucose in the liver requires the input of 6 mol of ATP for every mol of glucose produced. Investigators can monitor the extent of this process in a rat liver preparation by administering [¹4C]lactate and measuring the amount of [¹4C]glucose produced. Because the stoichiometry of O, consumption and ATP production is known (about 5 ATP per O₂), investigators can predict the extra O₂ consumption above the normal rate after administering a given amount of lactate. However, when they actually measure the extra O₂ used in the synthesis of glucose from lactate, it is always higher than what the stoichiometric relationships predict. What could explain this observation? Unproductive cycling of ADP and ATP occurs, with extra O, consumption. The initial production of lactate requires extra O₂. The conversion of [C]lactate to [C]glucose requires less ATP and less O₂. The production of [C]glucose uses more O, than the production of unlabeled glucose.
If the malate-aspartate shuttle is inhibited under aerobic conditions, then lactate production increases. Please provide an explanation for why lactate increases when the malate-aspartate shuttle is inhibited even though there is plenty of oxygen. Enter your answer here
Calculate glucose concentration. Na (sodium) and glucose secondary active transport. Na transport (which drive glucose import) G=R*T*In(Na in/ Na out)+Z*F*Y(psi symbol) Na in=14mM Na out=145MM Z=+1 F=96.5 KJ/V*mol Y(psi)=-0.05V What is the glucose in and out concentration? Please be very through when explaining this calculation. (I am stuck at why the energy sign changes from negative to positive when using the calculated energy from sodium to glucose)
When you hold a weight at arm's length, you are not doing any thermodynamic work but the muscles supporting the weight are nevertheless consuming energy. Describe, on the molecular level, how muscles might maintain such state of constant tension without contracting. Why does this state consume ATP?
The three carbons in lactate and alanine have identical oxidation states, and animals can use either carbon source as a metabolic fuel. Compare the net ATP yield (moles of ATP per mole of substrate) for the complete oxidation (to CO2 and H2O) of lactate versus alanine when the cost of nitrogen excretion as urea is included.
Glucose is a carbohydrate central to energy metabolism. Glucose provides most of the energy to the brain and its levels are closely controlled in healthy individuals. Improper control of glucose levels is found in diabetes.Assume that the maximum number of ATPs is produced (38). At pH 7, and in the presence of excess Mg2+, how much of the energy in one mole of glucose is stored as ATP? kJ Assuming the maximum number of ATPs are produced at pH 7 and in the presence of Mg2+, 1159 kJ of energy are stored as ATP. What is the percent efficiency?
Rat heart muscle operating aerobically fills more than 90% of its ATP needs by oxidative phosphorylation. If each gram of tissue consumes O2 at the rate of 12.0 micromol/min, with glucose as the fuel source. (a) Calculate the rate at which the heart muscle consumes glucose and produces ATP. (b) Consider an alternate scenario – what would be the rate of consumption if the energy source was a solely triglycerides whose fatty acyl chains were each 14-C in length and saturated? (Assume the O2 consumption rate remains at 12.0 micromol/min) (c) For a steady-state concentration of ATP of 6.0 micromol/g of heart muscle tissue, calculate the time required (in seconds) to completely turn over the cellular pool of ATP if glucose us used as the sole fuel source. What does this result indicate about the need for tight regulation of ATP production? (Note: Concentrations are expressed as micromoles per gram of muscle tissue because the tissue is mostly water.)
