The Typical Concentration of Glucose-6-Phosphate (G6P)in a Cell Is 1 $\circ$

question 15

Essay

The typical concentration of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P)in a cell is 1 mM. What concentration of glucose-1-phosphate (G1P)would be required to make the interconversion of G6P and G1P freely reversible at 37 ^$\circ$ C?
G1P + H₂O $\rarr$ glucose + P_i $\Delta$ G ^$\circ$ ' = -20.9 kJ/mol
G6P + H₂O $\rarr$ glucose + P_i $\Delta$ G ^$\circ$ = -13.8 kJ/mol

REM Sleep

REM sleep, or Rapid Eye Movement sleep, is a phase of sleep characterized by fast eye movements, vivid dreams, and increased brain activity.

N1 Sleep

The initial stage of non-REM sleep characterized by light sleep, from which a person can be easily awakened.

N2 Sleep

A stage of sleep within the non-REM cycle characterized by sleep spindles and K-complexes, marking a deeper sleep than N1 and preceding the deepest, N3 stage.

N3 Sleep

Third stage of non-REM sleep, characterized by deep sleep and the presence of delta waves in the brain, essential for restorative sleep.
