Title: Energy output. The Gibb’s free energy value for glucose is -2870kJ/mol or -686k
Post by: sara11 on Jul 17, 2014
 Energy output. The Gibb’s free energy value for glucose is -2870kJ/mol or -686kcal/mol. If the one molecule of ATP releases 30.5 kJ/mol or 7.3 kcal/mol, calculate the theoretical efficiency (showing your work) for cellular respiration and for anaerobic respiration.

One molecule of glucose makes 30 or 32 ATP normally.
32 ATP * 30.5 kJ/L = 976 kJ/mol
976/ 2870 = 34%
