Answer:
glycerol-3-phosphate, ADP, H⁺
Explanation:
The reaction of converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate which makes is unfavorable and is coupled with the second reaction which involves conversion of ATP to ADP which is high energetically favorable.
Reaction 1: Glycerol + HPO₄²⁻ ⇒ Glycerol-3-phosphate + water
Reaction 2: ATP + H₂O ⇒ ADP + HPO₄²⁻ + H⁺
The coupled reaction of both the reactions become favorable. Thus, the overall coupled reaction is:
<u>Glycerol + ATP ⇒ Glycerol-3-phosphate + ADP + H⁺</u>
The net products are = glycerol-3-phosphate, ADP, H⁺
D. this is the correct answer because the question is showing a comparison of sizes rather than the actual sizes which eliminates B. A and C have no relevance.
Answer: D. It Increases reaction rates.
Explanation:
Carbon has 4 valence electrons so to gain a noble gas electron configuration, which has 8 valence electrons and is the most electrically stable, carbon needs 4 more electrons.
