Cells use the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate ATP as a source of energy The conversion of ATP to ADP has a standard free-energy change of - 30.5 kJ/mol
If all the free energy from the metabolism of glucose, C6H12O6 (s) + 6O2 (g) --> 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O(l) goes into the conversion of ADP to ATP, how many moles of ATP can be produced for each mole of glucose?
