Rank these reactions from least to most energetically favorable.

Answer:

From least to most energetically favorable, the reactions are:

Glucose to Glucose-6-P (least) ; Glucose-6-P to Fructose-6-P; ATP to ADP and Pi; PEP to pyruvate (most favorable)

Explanation:

ΔG represents the free energy change that occurs during a chemical reaction. A reaction with negative free energy change is exergonic and spontaneous. Negative free energy change represents the fact that reactants have more free energy than products. The excess of the energy is released during the reaction and makes it a spontaneous process.

q`On the other hand, a reaction with positive free energy change is endothermic and non-spontaneous. These thermodynamically unfavorable reactions are coupled with other exergonic reactions to make them occur.

Among the given example, PEP to pyruvate has the highest negative free energy change (−14.8 kcal/mol) and therefore, is energetically most favorable. On the other hand, "Glucose to Glucose-6-P" has the highest positive free energy charge (+3.3 kcal/mol) making it energetically the most unfavorable reaction.

What did Mendel call the first two individuals that mate in a genetic cross?
Monica [59]

Answer:

P generation

Explanation:

The first two individuals that mate in a genetic cross is called the Parental generation or P generation.  This is one of the terms used by Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics. P generation refers to the passing of genes or traits of the first set of parents crossed to the offspring. Their offspring are called the first filial generation or F1 Generation.
