A 70-kg adult human (154) could meet his or her entire energy needs for one day by eating 3 moles of glucose (540 g). (Not recommended). Each molecule of glucose generates 30 ATP when it is oxidized to CO2. The concentration of ATP is maintained in cells at about 2 mM, and a 70-kg adult has about 25 L of intracellular fluid. Given that the ATP concentration remains constant in cells, calculate how many times per day, on average, each ATP molecule in the body is hydrolyzed and resynthesized.
