In one mole of glucose 38 ATP energy is stored this accounts for only 40 per-cent of the total energy in glucose.
Explanation:
In standard conditions, during the cellular respiration 1 mole of Glucose in the presence of oxygen produces 36 or 38 ATPs. This accounts for only 40% of the total energy as the remaining 60 per-cent of the energy is dissipated as heat.
I mole of glucose enters the glycolysis step of aerobic cellular respiration which after oxidative phosphorylation and Electron transport chain would give 38 ATP molecules.
It can be said that only 38.3% of energy is put in ATP molecules.
Active sites in enzymes are where substrates bind. Once they bind, a catalytic reaction occurs as a complex between substrate and enzyme is formed. Enzymes are termed as biocatalysts or simply catalysts since they speed up the catalytic reaction. After the reaction, they simply revert back to their original form, after having adjusted to fit with substrate.
