1. Walking consumes approximately 100 kcal/mi. In the hydrolysis of ATP (ATP ? ADP + Pi), the reaction that drives the muscle contraction, ?Go' is -7.3 kcal/mol (-30.5 kJ/mol). Calculate how many grams of ATP must be produced to walk a mile. ATP synthesis is coupled to the oxidation of glucose (?Go' = -686 kcal/mol). How many grams of glucose are actually metabolized to produce this amount of ATP? (Assume that only glucose oxidation is used to generate ATP and that 40% of the energy generated from this process is used to phosphorylate ADP. The gram molecular weight of glucose is 180 g and that of ATP is 507 g.
