(Answer) (d) Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the reaction, but nuclear decay rates do not.
Rate of a chemical reaction refers to rate of formation of products from reactions during a chemical reaction. The rates of chemical reactions depend on various factors such as temperature, pressure, concentration of reactants, presence of catalyst etc. For this reason, chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the reaction.
Nuclear decay rate refers to the constant ratio of the number of atoms of radioactive nucleus that decay during a certain interval of time to the total number of radioactive atoms at the beginning of the time interval. Nuclear decay rates are constant and do not vary with the conditions of the reaction.
An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. :)
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.
