ATP hydrolysis and Osmotic Pressure

Postby Will Harvey 1B » Sun Jan 23, 2022 9:31 pm

On the outline it talks about knowing biological examples like ATP hydrolysis and Osmotic Pressure. What specific processes are we looking at using those biological models? What information do they want us to know because I do not remember him mentioning them during lecture.

ATP hydrolysis is a biological example that one can apply the same concepts covered in class, in the textbook readings, and the textbook problems listed in the syllabus.

Details about the reaction would be provided in the question.

ATP + H2O <-----> ADP + Pi

For example, the reaction, K, and initial ATP concentration.
Students would then be asked to find the equilibrium concentrations of ATP, ADP, Pi.

The relationship between the ideal gas law and osmotic pressure I did not cover in class and will not be tested.
