Question 12

(Multiple Choice)

ΔG° indicates the change in the standard free energy as a reactant is converted to product.Given what you know about these values, which reaction below is the most favorable?


A)ADP + Pi → ATP                                                     ΔG° = +7.3 kcal/mole
B)glucose 1-phosphate → glucose 6-phosphate           ΔG° = −1.7 kcal/mole
C)glucose + fructose → sucrose                                   ΔG° = +5.5 kcal/mole
D)glucose → CO2 + H2O                                             ΔG° = −686 kcal/mole
