Question

john is 70 kg with a 30 kg muscle mass, and his total amount of ATP stores = 90 mmol, and his total CP stores = 360 mmol. Determine the amount of energy (in kcal per kilogram of muscle mass). (Hint: 1 mole - 7.3 kcal)​

To determine the amount of energy in kcal per kilogram of muscle mass, we need to calculate the energy stored in ATP and CP per kilogram of muscle mass.

1. First, we need to calculate the total energy stored in ATP. Given that John has a total amount of ATP stores of 90 mmol, and 1 mole of ATP is equal to 7.3 kcal, we can calculate the total energy stored in ATP as follows:

Total energy stored in ATP = Total ATP stores * Energy per mole of ATP

= 90 mmol * 7.3 kcal/mol

2. Next, we need to calculate the total energy stored in CP. Given that John has a total amount of CP stores of 360 mmol, and 1 mole of CP is equal to 7.3 kcal, we can calculate the total energy stored in CP as follows:

Total energy stored in CP = Total CP stores * Energy per mole of CP

= 360 mmol * 7.3 kcal/mol

3. Now, we can calculate the total energy stored in both ATP and CP by adding the energy stored in ATP and CP together:

Total energy stored = Total energy stored in ATP + Total energy stored in CP

4. Finally, we can calculate the amount of energy (in kcal per kilogram of muscle mass) by dividing the total energy stored by the total muscle mass:

Amount of energy = Total energy stored / Muscle mass

Amount of energy (in kcal per kilogram of muscle mass) = Amount of energy / Muscle mass

Remember to convert the units of muscle mass and energy to ensure consistency.
