I really dont understand this question!?
"In the cytoplasm the typical (ATP)/(ADP)(P) ratio is 5.53 x 10 squared. Calculate the delta G (free energy change) required to synthesise ATP in the cytoplasm". My problem is that I dont see how 5.53x 10squared is a ratio. Once I understand that I may e able to finish my assignment. I asked my tutor but he didnt explain it any clearer. HELP!!
Answers:
I think it means that for every ADP + P in the cytoplasm there are 5.53x10^2 molecules of ATP. Therefore there are much more ATPs in the cytoplasm than ADP + P. You get this ratio by dividing the number of ATP by the number of ADP + P.
Reminder: ADP + P --> ATP
the reverse reaction releases energy, and this is where the cell gets its energy from. It means that in the cytoplasm you have a lot of ATP, therefore a lot of potential energy which can be used for many purposes.
sorry its beyond me;;;;;;
nope,sorry you`ve lost me.
Can you really expect the people on here to help you with this ?I think it is beyond all of us . Ha HA.
Neither do I. I know this isn't a helpful comment really, but atleast you don't have to feel alone!
Bamboozled??
wow, far too advanced for me!
I would read this as 'the ratio of ATP to ADP is 553 to 1'.
get new glasses then maybe it will all become clear
Neither do I !!

I remeber now why I hated maths at school. Sorry no idea.
Your problem is that 5.53 x 10 squared means 5.53 x 100, this is 553
E=MC2
I would love to be able to help you but I am good with words, not figures and your problem is way beyond my very poor mathematical capabilities. Sorry, but I am sure there will be someone on UKQnA.com who will be able to help you.
I think Bill N puts it most simply. The ratio is 553:1
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Maybe the ratio is 5.53x10squared : 1?
I hope you finish your assignment successfully!
5.53x10 squared is standard form. it means 553. your ratio is probably ATP:ADP+P = 1:553. it's probably a mistake in the question but if you explain to your tutor that you don't understand then they might let you off assist you further. Hopefully.
No idea what you're on about as I'm just a humble average human being, but I did have the sobriety to at least 'try' to find out for you (but failed - sorry)

In science the word "ratio" can also be used to mean "fraction". So it means the value of the fraction (ATP)/(ADP)(P) is 5.53 x 10^2.
I'm sure you can take it from here :)
