What is the ∆G naught' for a phosphoryl transfer from ATP to glycerol? The hydrolysis of α-glycerophosphate to glycerol and inorganic phosphate has a ∆G naught' of -8.37 kj/mol. ATP + H2O <--> ADP + Pi ∆G naught' = -30.5 kj/mol What is the efficiency of this reaction (i.e. what % of the available energy remains in the system after the reaction)? Express your answer as a % of the total amount of energy available in the system. Where does the rest of the energy go?

Question

What is the ∆G naught' for a phosphoryl transfer from ATP to glycerol? The hydrolysis of α-glycerophosphate to glycerol and inorganic phosphate has a ∆G naught' of -8.37 kj/mol.

ATP + H2O <--> ADP + Pi

∆G naught' = -30.5 kj/mol

What is the efficiency of this reaction (i.e. what % of the available energy remains in the system after the reaction)?

Express your answer as a % of the total amount of energy available in the system. Where does the rest of the energy go?
