Question

The average daily diet of an adult woman is 2.4×103kcal. the molar mass of atp is 507 g/mole. part a if all the energy in her diet is converted to atp, how many kg of atp are synthesized in one day?

Answer 1

To answer this question, we should give the standard free energy change of ATP to ADP conversion that is equal to 30.5 kJ/mol ATP. In this case, 2400 kcal is equal to 10041. 6 kJ. Hence, the mol of ATP produced is 329.23 mol ATP or equal to 166.93 kg ATP.
