Question:

On an average day, an adult dissipates about 7000 kJ of free energy. Assuming that this occurs under standard conditions,
(a) How many moles of ATP must be hydrolyzed to provide this quantity of free energy?
(b) What is the mass of this quantity of ATP?
(c) If the amount of ATP in an adult is about 0.1 mole, how many times per day, on average, is a molecule of ADP recycled? The molecular mass of ATP is 507.
