Suppose that the radius of a typical cell is 10 µm and that inside it 106 ATP molecules are hydrolyzed each second. Given that the change in Gibbs energy for the hydrolysis of ATP corresponds to ΔG = -31 kJ mol-1 under the conditions prevailing in a typical cell, what is the power density of the cell in watts per cubic meter (1 W = 1 J s-1)? A computer battery delivers about 15 W and has a volume of 100 cm3. Which has the greater power density, the cell or the battery?
