question 26

Essay

Suppose a fermentation process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cells of an organism.Overall, the conversion of glucose to lactate is coupled to the phosphorylation of two ADP to produce two ATP.Using the following reactions, write the balanced equation and calculate the free energy change of the fermentation reaction."P_i" is used to represent phosphate.
1) glucose ⇄ 2 lactate $\Delta$ G₁ = -196.6 kJ/mol
2) ADP + P_i ⇄ ATP +H₂O $\Delta$ G₂ = 30.5 kJ/mol
