ATP hydrolysis provides the main source of energy in living cells. In standard condition hydrolysis of ATP produces 30 kJ/mol of energy, where 1 mol = 6x10 23. In a typical muscle contraction event, one cell can produce 1 nanonewton (10 -9N) of force while contracting for 1 micrometer (10 m). (1, 2pt) How many ATP molecules (number of molecules, not in unit of mol) will be needed to power one cell contrac- tion event? (2, 2pt) Jen weighs 50 kg. Estimate how many ATP molecules will be consumed when Jen does a pull up on a bar? (3, 2pt) List four factors that you are overlooking in your estimation and indicate if each of the factors will increase or decrease the amount of ATP consumed.
