Solution Summary

Answer is found using the formula DG = -RT ln K, representing the relationship between the free energy change (DG) and the equilibrium concentration ratio (K).

Solution Preview

The relationship between the free energy change (DG) and the equilibrium concentration ratio (K) is:

DG = -RT ln K

T = absolute temperature. 298 K is standard but 310 K is ...

  • Glycolyis and Cellular Respiration

    It is a catabolic process that breaks down food. It begins with a glucose molecule in the presence of ADP and phosphate. Glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid. The goal of glycolysis is to break down glucose to form two pyruvates.

    Five in the glucose. The second (middle) sugar residue is a(n): a. aldopentose (That means that it is an aldose sugar [not a keto sugar] and is 5 carbons, i.e. "pent".)

  • Effects of Insulin

    Anaerobic Metabolism Glucose in the bloodstream diffuses into the cytoplasm and is locked there by phosphorylation. A glucose molecule is then rearranged slightly to fructose and phosphorylated again to fructose diphosphate.

  • Adaptations of organisms in hypnotic environment

    When glucose is available as the energy the cell traps the molecule inside its walls by adding a phosphate --called "phosphorylation" -- with the help of a phospho-relay system that requires a protein known as HPr.

  • Photosynthesis, Glycolysis Fermentation and Enzyme Catalysts

    This molecule is split into two pieces called 3-phosphoglycerate which are phosphorylated with the help of the ATP generated by the light reactions. The NADPH generated with the help of light is then used to catalyze the reduction of the products.
