#Question id: 532


In glycolysis, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is converted to two products with a standard free-energy change (DG'°) of 23.8 kJ/mol.  Under what conditions (encountered in a normal cell) will the free-energy change (DG) be negative, enabling the reaction to proceed to the right?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. If the concentrations of the two products are high relative to that of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.

  2. The reaction will not go to the right spontaneously under any conditions because the DG'° is positive.

  3. Under standard conditions, enough energy is released to drive the reaction to the right.

  4. When there is a high concentration of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate relative to the concentration of products.
