Answer:

The addition of inorganic phosphate helps to sustain the reaction by helping the reaction to occur in a thermodynamically unfavorable manner.

Explanation:

The reaction  of inorganic phosphate with  glucose is an endergonic reaction which is thermodynamically unfavorable as a result reaction need coupling of ATP hydrolysis to take place in biological system because ATP hydrolysis releases huge amount of free energy as a result the overall free energy change of this reaction becomes negative which helps the reaction to proceed in a thermodynamically favorable manner.

       That"s why inorganic phosphate can be used to sustain the rapidly proceeding glycolysis pathway. The addition of inorganic phosphate makes the reaction thermodynamically unvorable.

damaskus [11]

Answer: Physical change : tearing of paper, fixing of wtaer

Chemical change:  rusting of iron ,  electrolysis of water​, Rancidification

Explanation:

Physical change is a change in which there is no rearrangement of atoms and thus no new substance is formed. There is only change in physical state of the substance.

Example:  tearing of paper, fixing of wtaer

Chemical change is a change in which there is rearrangement of atoms and thus new substance is formed. There may or may not be a change in physical state.

Example: rusting of iron ,  electrolysis of water​, Rancidification
