Consider the Following Two Chemical Equations

question 19

Multiple Choice

Consider the following two chemical equations:
A. glucose + fructose → sucrose + H₂O, Δ G = +27kJ/mole (or +6.5 kcal/mole)
B. glucose + fructose + ATP → sucrose + ADP + P_i, Δ G = − 5kJ/mole (or − 1.2 kcal/mole)
The free energy change difference between the chemical equations (A) and (B) above is accomplished by:

• A) a decrease in activation energy.
• B) combining two endergonic reactions.
• C) combining an endergonic and an exergonic reaction.
• D) combining two exergonic reactions.
• E) measuring the reaction rate.
