Part A The metabolism of glucose, C6H12O6, yields carbon dioxide, CO2 (g), and water, H2O(1), as products. Energy released in this metabolic process is converted to useful work, w, with about 67.0 % efficiency. The formula for work is Calculate the mass of glucose metabolized by a 83.0 kg person in climbing a mountain with an elevation gain of 1470 m. Assume that the work performed in the climb is four times that required to simply lift 83.0 kg by 1470 m. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. W = mdg where m is mass, d is distance, and g = 9.81 m.s-2 is the acceleration due to gravity. ► View Available Hint(s) μΑ ?
