Tetracyclines are antibiotics used against a wide range of microorganisms, such as bacteria, chlamydia, rickettsia and some protozoa parasites.
<span>They inhibit synthesis of protein in bacteria by inhibiting the binding of transport RNA and ribosome and</span> are effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Sonja [21]
<span>The P-site of the ribosomes is the site of polypeptide elongation during translation of mRNA. Therefore, a drug that binds to this site ensures that there is no elongation hence, basically, the translation process is inhibited. The <span>growing bacteria cell will stop growing and die due to lack of structural and functional proteins to grow and perform its cellular processes respectively..</span></span>

Rank these reactions from least to most energetically favorable.
mafiozo [28]

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.
