Rank these reactions from least to most energetically favorable.

Biology

mafiozo [28]3 years ago

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.

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Akira turns in a written lab report to his science teacher. ... Akira writes in his notes that adding a catalyst sped up the chemical reaction because the catalyst lowered the activation energy needed to start the reaction.

What is the difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?
cricket20 [7]
Ionic bonds result when electrons are tranfered between atoms. Covalent bonds result when valence electrons are shared between atoms. You should be able to identify whether an ionic or covalent bond is being formed between atoms.
