For the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase: Glucose + ATP → glucose 6-phosphate + ADP the equilibrium constant, Keq, is 7.8 × 102. In living E. coli cells, [ATP] = 5 mM, [ADP] = 0.5 mM, [glucose] = 2 mM, and [glucose 6-phosphate] = 1 mM. Which of the following conclusions made on the basis of the above calculations is incorrect?

a. The reaction is both enthalpically and entropically opposed. It is nonspontaneous (endergonic) at all temperatures.

2.

c. The reaction is enthalpically favored but entropically opposed. It is spontaneous only at temperatures below T = ΔH/ΔS.

4.
