Question 20
XL-SNAT2 marksNeeds review
The following stoichiometric equation represents the conversion of glucose to lactic acid in a cell:
Glucose + 2Pi + 2ADP → 2Lactate + 2ATP + 2H₂O
If the free energy of conversion of glucose to lactic acid alone is ΔG⁰ = −4700 cal/mol, the efficiency of energy transfer is ______ % (up to 1 decimal point).
(ΔG⁰ for ATP hydrolysis is −7.3 kcal/mol)
