In Glycolysis, Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphate Is Converted to Two Products with a Standard

question 102

Multiple Choice

In glycolysis, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is converted to two products with a standard free-energy change ( $\Delta$ G'°) of 23.8 kJ/mol. Under what conditions encountered in a normal cell will the free-energy change ( $\Delta$ G) be negative, enabling the reaction to proceed spontaneously to the right?

• A) Under standard conditions, enough energy is released to drive the reaction to the right.
• B) The reaction will not go to the right spontaneously under any conditions because the\(\Delta\)G'° is positive.
• C) The reaction will proceed spontaneously to the right if there is a high concentration of products relative to the concentration of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
• D) The reaction will proceed spontaneously to the right if there is a high concentration of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate relative to the concentration of products.
• E) None of these conditions is sufficient.
