assuming that all the energy released by the oxidation of one mole of glucose to carbon dioxide and water can be stored in the form of ATP, how many moles of ATP can be theoretically produced from ADP at 37 C? Use delta G since it tells you how much work a reaction could do or requires. ( P is a phosphate group, ADP is adenosine diphosphate, ATP is adenosine triphosphate)

ADP^-3 + H+ + Pi = ATP^-4 + H20
Delta G is 31.4 kj/mol

ADP^-3 + H+ + Pi = ATP^-4 + H20
Delta G is 31.4 kj/mol

Find the energy produced by the oxidation of one mole of glucose molecules, divide this number by the $\Delta G$ associated with the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP.
