Genetic engineering:Pros: produces more food, makes organisms more fit, increases knowledge and knowledge is good.Cons: Some say it's: playing God, dangerous due to recombination of DNA, contamination of the gene pool, big pharma could take over the "means of production".
In-vitro fertilization: Pros: Allows people who couldn't have children to do so, increases knowledge and knowledge is good.Cons: Expensive (really expensive), can lead to overpopulation (minor), can be done irresponsibly (minor as everything can be).

The Go' for the reaction Citrate  Isocitrate is +6.64 kJmol-1 . The Go' for the reaction Isocitrate  α-Ketoglutarate is -267
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = - 273.64  kJmol-1

Explanation:

ΔG°' for Citrate is +6.64 kJmol-1

ΔG°' for Isocitrate is -267 kJmol-1

ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = ΔG°' for product - ΔG°' for reactant

ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = -267 kJmol-1 - (+6.64 kJmol-1)

ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = - 273.64  kJmol-1
