Glycolysis is the process by which energy is harvested from glucose by living things. Several of the reactions of glycolysis are

thermodynamically unfavorable (nonspontaneous), but proceed when they are coupled with other reactions.
Which of these reactions is (are) unfavorable?
Reaction A: Pi+glucose⟶glucose-6-phosphate+H2OΔG=13.8 kJ/mol
Reaction B: Pi+fructose-6-phosphate⟶fructose-1,6-bisphosphate+H2OΔG=16.3 kJ/mol
Reaction C: ATP+H2O⟶ADP+PiΔG=−30.5 kJ/mol
A. A
B. B
C. C
Which of these reactions can be coupled so that overall reaction is favorable?
A. A and B
B. A and C
C. B and C
What is the net change in free energy if one selection from part (b) is coupled so that the overall reaction is favorable?

Answer:

1. Options A and B

2. Options B and C

3.. B. Net ∆G = -16.7 KJ/mol; C. Net ∆G = -14.2 KJ/mol

Explanation:

1. The spontaneity of a chemical reaction depends on its standard free energy change, ∆G. If ∆G is negative, the reaction is favourable, but when it is positive, the reaction is unfavorable.

Therefore, since reaction A and B have ∆G to be positive, they are unfavorable

2. Coupling an unfavorable reaction to a favourable reaction can help the reaction to proceed in the forward direction as long as the net free energy change is negative.

Coupling reaction A and C, as well as reaction B and C will make the reactions to become favourable as net ∆G is negative in both instances.

3. A and C: net ∆G = 13.8 - 30.5 = -16.7 KJ/mol

B and C: net ∆G = 16.3- 30.5 = -14.2 KJ/mol

The a ______ planet is from the sun, the _______ it takes the planet to revolve around the sun. Making the "year" for that plane
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Farther; longer.

Explanation:

In the early nineties When the research on solar system first started it was found out that the solar system has 9 planets which are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Pluto which is considered as the number 9 of the planets in the solar system has been removed in the year 2006 and labelled as a "dwarf planet'' hence, Neptune is considered as the farthest planet from the Sun.

The farther the planets are from the sun, the longer it will take them to orbit round the sun. For instance, it only takes around 87.97 days for mercury(first planet nearer to the sun) to orbit round the sun, while it takes the earth (third planet nearer to the sun) 365 1/4 days to orbit round the sun.

Which statement explains why low temperature and high pressure are required to liquefy chlorine gas?
Leona [35]
4 is correct. Since gases are made of rapidly moving molecules with a relatively high amount of kinetic energy, the molecules have a hard time coming together to form a liquid. You must lower their kinetic energy with a low temperature and force the molecules together with high pressure.
