Chapter 7 Metabolism: Transformations and Interactions
How Efficient is this Process? • From the food we ingest, we only capture about 50% of the energy in the bonds in the form of ATP. • When we utilize the ATP to “fuel” other anabolic processes, we only utilize about 50% of the ATP’s energy. Where does the “LOST ENERGY” go?

Why does Fat Produce more Energy than Glucose? Mol. Weight = 256.42 Acetyl CoA produced = 8 ATP’s produced = 129 ATP’s per gram = 0.50 Mol. Weight = 180.16 Acetyl CoA produced = 2 ATP’s produced = 38 ATP’s per gram = 0.21
