Because of the concentrations of ATP and ADP in the cell, the conditions are very favorable for the use of the hydrolysis of ATP as an energy source. In fact, many processes with positive ÎG values can take place when coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP.
78-84 degrees: Race directors use their judgement to allow or not allow wetsuits at this range. Over 84 degrees: Wetsuits not allowed. The range of 50 to 78 degrees is therefore the ideal range for using a wetsuit. Any warmer, and the swimmer may actually overheat due to the wetsuitâs insulative qualities. Any colder, and the water is dangerously frigid for a swim.
It appears that the surface temperature ranges from about 820 degrees to nearly 900 degrees F. The average surface temperature is 847 degrees F., hot enough to melt lead. No wonder the ocean basins are dry. At these temperatures any water would evaporate nearly instantaneously.
