Q. A businessman of 80 kg weight requires 4800 kcal energy daily. How many ATP molecules and glucose molecules does he require to produce this much energy?
A) 20 molecules of glucose and 384 molecules of ATP
B) 40 molecules of glucose and 264 molecules of ATP
C) 18 molecules of glucose and 657 molecules of ATP
D) 20 molecules of glucose and 460 molecules of ATP
Explanation
1 molecule of glucoses yields 262 8 kcal of usable energy No. of glucose molecule required to produce 4800 kcal energy $= \frac{4800}{262.8} = 18$ 1 molecule of ATP yield 7.3 kcal of usable energy No. of ATP molecules required to produce 4800 kcal energy $= \frac{4800}{7.3} = 657$
