9. One of the important reactions in the biochemical pathway glycolysis is the reaction of glucose-6-phosphate(G6P) to form fructose-6-phosphate (F6P): a) Is the reaction spontaneous or nonspontaneous under standard state conditions? b) Standard state conditions imply the concentrations of G6P and F6P to be 1 M, however, in a typical cell, they are not even close to these values. Calculate ΔG when the concentrations of G6P and F6P are 120 μM and 28 uM respectively, and discuss the spontaneity of...
