The cytoplasm of a bacterial cell contains the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules that make up the bacterial genome (or nucleoid), the transcriptional machinery that copies DNA into ribonucleic acid (RNA), and the ribosomes that translate the messenger RNA information into protein sequence.

Answer:
ΔG'° for the coupled reaction = -16.7 kJ/mol
<em>Note: The question is missing some parts. The complete question is as follows:</em>
<em>The first reaction in glycolysis is the phosphorylation of glucose:
</em>
<em>
Pi+glucose⟶glucose−6−phosphate+H2O
</em>
<em>This is a thermodynamically unfavorable process, with ΔG∘′= +13.8kJ/mol. In a liver cell at 37 ∘C the concentrations of both phosphate and glucose are normally maintained at about 5 mM each.</em>
<em>This very low concentration of the desired product would be unfavorable for glycolysis. In fact the reaction is coupled to ATP hydrolysis to give the overall reaction: ATP + glucose → glucose-6-phosphate + ADP + H+</em>
<em>What is the ΔG'° for the coupled reaction?</em>
Explanation:
The coupling of ATP hydrolysis which is a thermodynamically favourable reaction to the phosphorylation of glucose makes it favourable. Since the two reactions constitute a sequential reaction, their standard free energy changes are additive.
For ATP hydrolysis: ATP + H₂O ---> ADP + Pi ; ΔG'° = -30.5KJ/mol
For phosphorylation of glucose: Pi + glucose⟶glucose−6−phosphate + H2O ; ΔG'° = +13.8 kJ/Mol
For the overall reaction: ATP + glucose → glucose-6-phosphate + ADP + H⁺ ; ΔG'° = 13.8 + (-30.5) kJ/mol = -16.7 kJ/mol
Therefore, ΔG'° for the coupled reaction = -16.7 kJ/mol
