Question
In biological cells, the energy released by the oxidation of foods is stored in
adenosine triphosphate (ATP or ATP4). The essence of ATP's action is its ability to lose its terminal phosphate
group by hydrolysis and to form adenosine diphosphate (ADP or ADP³-)
ATP+ (aq) + H₂0 (1)→ ADP³- (aq) + HPO¯(aq) + H₂O+ (aq)
At physiological conditions, pH = 7 and T = 310K (blood temperature), the enthalpy and Gibbs energy of
hydrolysis are A, H = -20 and AG = -31, respectively. The hydrolysis of 1.00 mol of ATP, at these
conditions, results in the extraction of 31 kJ of energy that can be used to do non-expansion work such as the
synthesis of proteins or activation of neurons.
