4. This problem will compare aerobic respiration and the efficiency of a diesel engine. You will need the following data: AcGo (glucose) = -2880 kJ mol-¹ ATP (aq) + H₂O (1) → ADP (aq) + P₁ (aq) + H3O+ (aq) AG+ = -31 kJ mol-¹ at 37°C (The difference in the superscripts reflects the different standard states.) Complete oxidation of 1 mol of glucose produces 38 moles of ATP. a) Calculate the efficiency of aerobic respiration under standard biochemical conditions. b) The following conditions are more typical of a biological system: P (CO₂) = 5.3 x 10-² atm, P (O₂) = 0.132 atm, [glucose] = 5.6 x 10-2 mol L-¹, [ATP] = [ADP] = [Pi] = 1.0 x 104 mol L-¹, pH = 7.4, T=310 K. Assuming that we can use concentrations and partial pressures for the activities, calculate the efficiency of aerobic respiration under these physiological conditions. c) A typical diesel engine operates between To = 873 K and Thi = 1923 K with an efficiency about 75% that of an ideal (Carnot) engine. Compare the efficiency of a diesel engine to aerobic respiration from part b. d) Why is biological energy conversion more or less efficient than a diesel engine?
