Under Physiological Conditions the Complete Oxidation of Glucose to Carbon

Short Answer

Under physiological conditions the complete oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen has a △G of -2900 kJ/mol glucose. This process can be coupled to the synthesis of ~32 mol ATP. The △G of the coupled reactions to make ATP is -1300 kJ/mol glucose. Calculate the △G for the synthesis of ATP from ADP.
