At an ATP concentration of 10 mM in a fast – growing cell, how big would the cell need to be to have all the ATP molecules required to make a new E. coli cell? Is this a reasonable estimate for the size of an E. coli cell? How do you interpret these potential discrepancies? How can E. coli live and grow with what would seem to be insufficient ATP?
