Cellular Respiration Questions
questsion 1.
Energy output. The Gibb’s free energy value for glucose is -2870kJ/mol or -686kcal/mol. If the one molecule of ATP releases 30.5 kJ/mol or 7.3 kcal/mol, calculate the theoretical efficiency (showing your work) for cellular respiration and for anaerobic respiration.
Explain the difference between metabolic rate and basal metabolic rate (BMR).
What happens to BMR with age?
I would highly appreciate if it was in a text form not handwritten.( I have difficulty reading handwritten)
Thank you very much.

Explain what type of mechanism will be used to transport glucose from your intestine to your muscles. The relative levels of glucose are provided below.
a. Intestinal epithelium cell: high glucose to Interstitial fluid between intestinal cell and blood vessel: very low (blood vessels have “clefs” that glucose fits through to enter blood by bulk flow.)
b. Na+ is required for the transport into the intestinal epithelium cell. Why? How is the level of Na+ kept low in the intestinal cell?
