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.

iris [78.8K]

Sociologists argue that the division of the human population into two distinctive and  mutually exclusive categories, male and female, is best understood as a biological fact.

The division into these two major categories as male or female is mainly due to the biological and the physiological characteristics produced in both male and female.

Although in some cases, it may be argued that they are not mutually exclusive as there are some who have both.

Nevertheless, the above mentioned characteristics are just used to differentiate between a male and a female in humans and as well an individual self-concept of being a male or a female.

seropon [69]
When a candle burns, energy is released in the form of light and heat.
Candles are used to provide light because when they burn, the energy which is released takes the form of light. Similarly, because fire is involved in the process, heat is given off as well.
