Following are given stages of gibberellin biosynthetic pathway;

a) Geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) is converted to ent-kaurene  via copalyl diphosphate (CPP) in endoplasmic reticulum

b) In the endoplasmic reticulum, conversion of ent-kaurene into GA12 or GA53 depending on whether the GA is hydroxylated at carbon 13

c) the conversion of GA12 or GA53 into other GAs in cytosol proceeds with a series of oxidations at carbon 20

d) GA20 is then oxidized to the active gibberellin, GA1, by a 3β-hydroxylation reaction

Which of the following is the correct statements of GA biosynthesis?

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?
