Combustion of glucose (C6H12O6) is the main source of eneray for animal cells: C6H12O6( s)+6O2(g)→6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)ΔGr×m(37∘C)=−2872 kJ This energy is generally stored as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules, which can release it when comenient by hydrolysis ("water assisted . decomposition") into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) molecules and a phosphate anion, often given the symbol P1 in biochemistry? ATP(aq)→ADP(aq)+Pi(aq)ΔGrx =−35 to 70 kJ The actual amount of free energy released by the hydrolysls of ATP varies, depending on the exact conditions inside the cell. Suppose under certalin conditions hydrolysis of ATP actually releases −63.3 kJ/mol. Calculate the maximum number of ATPs that could be created frorn ADPs and Pf by the combustion of a molecule of glucose. Your answer must be a whole number.
