b. Why doesn’t sugar just explode on our countertops?
c. Photosynthesis – what type of reaction? ….how much energy?
d. Where does the activation energy come from for photosynthesis?
e. Day to day, we use ________, it is our energy coinage, we can s_________ it and then cash it in.
f. What is the delta G value for breaking ATP down into ADP?

Answer 1

Answer

:a. Cellular Respiration – what type of reaction?  EXERGONIC .and how much energy  34 ATPs;Net gain of 32.

b. Why doesn’t sugar just explode on our countertops- sugar is a high energy-rich compound. Therefore high energy is needed to breakdown the bond-energy  in it for phosphorylation to take place in glycolysis  

c. Photosynthesis – what type of reaction-ENDOGONIC  ….how much energy 18 ATPs used up and 12NADPHs  

d.Where does the activation energy come from for photosynthesis SUNLIGHT

e. Day to day, we use ATPS  it is our energy coinage, we can STORE it and then cash it in.  

f. What is the delta G value for breaking ATP down into ADP=−30.5 kJ/mol
