Under oxygen shortage, 5 mol of glucose in muscle cells was broken down only by glycolysis to lactic acid. 1 mol of glucose gives 200 kJ in glycolysis; 1 mol of ATP stores 40 kJ. 1) Explain where glycolysis occurs and its role in energy metabolism. 2) Write the overall equation of glycolysis. 3) Find the amounts (mol) of ATP and lactic acid formed. 4) Calculate the energy (kJ) stored in ATP and dissipated as heat. 5) Find the mass of lactic acid formed. For each part, write out the law or method used (cross scheme, formulas, reasoning) and all calculations step by step.
The AI score is an estimate. In the official exam the written part is marked by BMBA examiners.
