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.

How would you expect prey to respond to a predator they have never encountered before (a novel predator)? explain your reasoning
jekas [21]
The prey will be confused by the appearance of a new animal, and it will not be sure if it's a predator or harmless animal. This usually causes the prey animals big problems because that confusion usually leads to their death. Also the defensive system that the prey has developed is made for the predators it knows, but is usually ineffective with the newly introduced predators.

The liver acts to keep blood glucose at a relatively constant level. It takes up glucose from the blood when levels are too high
postnew [5]
Yes, these actions are an example of homeostasis. To fully understand this question you need to know the basic concept of homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body's regulation. What do I mean by that? It's simple, when you have a fever your body's temperature can skyrocket to 100 or more, when you start to sweat or get the chills that's your body's way to cool you down and fight the infection. Another example; when you do any physical activity, you sweat from it depending on the intensity. If you didn't sweat you would probably overheat and that would lead to other complications. Basically when you do exercise you sweat because your body is warm and that's the homeostasis mechanism that helps cool down your body bring it to it's normal temperature. So in end answering your question in more detail by the liver regulating the body by taking glucose in when levels are too high or adding glucose in when levels are too low is an example of homeostasis because the body is regulating itself to come back to it's normal healthy function state.

Hope this helped :)
