A researcher estimates that, in a certain organism, the complete metabolism of glucose produces 30 molecules of ATP for each mol

ecule of glucose. The energy released from the total oxidation of glucose under standard conditions is 686 kcal/mol. The energy released from the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate under standard conditions is 7.3 kcal/mol. Calculate the amount of energy available from the hydrolysis of 30 moles of ATP. Calculate the efficiency of total ATP production from 1 mole of glucose in the organism. Describe what happens to the excess energy that is released from the metabolism of glucose.

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. energy from 30 moles- 219 kcal

2. efficiency- 31.9%

3. excess energy- is lost as heat

Explanation:

1. <u>Energy from 30 moles</u>

Hydrolysis of 1 ATP = 7.3 kcal/mol.

Hydrolysis of 30 ATP = 30 x 7.3

                                  = 291 kcal

2.<u> Efficiency</u>

1 mole of glucose produce = 30 ATP (219 Kcal)

1 mole of glucose release = 686 kcal

Therefore, efficiency will be = \frac{energy produced }{energy released by 1 mole of glucose} \times100x 100

                                     = 31.9 %

3. The excess amount of energy is released in the form of heat.

Which is a difference between bacteria and viruses that showed that bacteria are living organisms and viruses are not?
Zigmanuir [339]
The difference between bacteria and viruses that show bacteria are living and not viruses is that viruses, unlike bacteria, lack what is considered a living organism. For Example, viruses cannot reproduce without the help of a host, and don't use the normal way of cell-division for replication. Unlike bacteria, which can reproduce without the aid of a host.

So basically viruses don't have what it need to be a living organism, like reproducing without and host and aren't in the norm for cell-division for replication.

Why is a primary far less common and takes much longer to complete than secondary succession ?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Secondary succession generally takes place faster in comparison to primary succession as the substrate is already present. In the case of primary succession, there is no soil and it consumes much time to form.  

Primary succession takes place in mainly lifeless regions, that is, the regions in which the soil does not possess the tendency of sustaining life as an outcome of various factors.  

On the other hand, secondary succession takes place in the regions where a community that previously prevailed have been eradicated and is epitomized by smaller scale turbulence, which do not eradicate all the forms of life and nutrients from the environment.
