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.

Water is denser than oil. When frozen, the oil sinks to the bottom. Why?
sammy [17]

Answer: When water freezes it gets larger and becomes a solid but it still weighs the same as when it was a liquid form. When it becomes larger it takes up space but makes it less dense. Ok so getting to the point- oil unlike water becomes more dense when frozen so this is why oil sinks in water. Sorry if this was confusing but I hope it helped have a great day and god bless you :3
