A) Determine the current generated by the human per day. In thiscase, the current is defined as the flow of e- to O2 from the foodthe human consumes.
B) Reduction of O2 can occur by a donation of electrons fromnicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). When this occurs, theelectrons experience a potential drop of 1.20 V. Determine thepower output from the 87.5-kg human.
Simply by living, an 87.5-kg human being will consume approximately 20.0 mol of O2 per day. To provide energy for the human, the O2 is reduced to H2O during food oxidation by the following reaction: A) Determine the current generated by the human per day. In this case, the current is defined as the flow of e- to O2 from the food the human consumes. B) Reduction of O2 can occur by a donation of electrons from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). When this occurs, the electrons experience a potential drop of 1.20 V. Determine the power output from the 87.5-kg human.
