A 70 -kg adult human $(154$ lb) could meet his or her entire energy needs for one day by eating 3 moles of glucose $(540 \mathrm{g}) .$ (We don't recommend this.) Each molecule of glucose generates 30 ATP when it is oxidized to $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$. The concentration of ATP is maintained in cells at about $2 \mathrm{mM}$, and a $70-\mathrm{kg}$ adult has about 25 liters of intracellular fluid. Given that the ATP concentration remains constant in cells, calculate how many times per day, on average, each ATP molecule in the body is hydrolyzed and resynthesized.
5. It takes 820 ml of oxygen to completely oxidize one gram of glucose. Calculate the amount of glucose consumed per minute for the corn at different temperatures (12°C and 22°C). 6. Looking at the results above, try to come up with an explanation (hypothesis) for any differences in metabolic rates you determined.
