Question

Help please.

Reaction 1: 3.3 kcal/ mol + glucose+P1 rightarrow glucose-6-phosphate+ H2O Reaction 2: ATP+ H2O rightarrow ADP+P1 + 7.3 kcal/mol Answer the following four questions about the first step of glycolysis: Is Reaction 2 spontaneous (favorable) or nonspontaneous (unfavorable)? spontaneous nonspontaneous Write the net chemical equation. Use the same spelling as is shown in the reactions above. Calculate the amount of energy released in the coupled reaction. Energy released: Is the first step in glycolysis spontaneous (favorable)? yes no cannot be determined continued below...

Explanation / Answer

1) spontaneous

2) ATP + Glucose + -----> ADP + Glucose -6 phosphate + 4 KCal /mol

3) 4 KCal/mol

4) No
