Examine the following reactions:

Reaction 1. Glycerol 1-phosphate + H2O -------> Glycerol + Pi G = -9

Reaction 2. ATP + H2O ---------> ADP + Pi + H+ G = -30

What is the balanced equation and the G of the coupled reaction?

A. Glycerol 1-phosphate + ADP + H+  Glycerol + ATP G = -21


B. Glycerol 1-phosphate + ADP + H+  Glycerol + ATP G = -39
C. Glycerol + ATP  Glycerol 1-phosphate + ADP + H+ G = -21
D. Glycerol + ATP  Glycerol 1-phosphate + ADP + H+ G = -39

The standard free energy change (G0) for the
hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi is about -30 kJ/mol but
in the red blood cell the actual free energy change (G)
for this reaction is about -52 kJ/mol. This means that:

A. The product of the concentrations of ADP and Pi is


greater than the concentration of ATP.
B. The concentration of ATP is greater than the product of
the concentrations of ADP and Pi.
C. The concentration of ATP is more than 1 M.
D. The concentration of Pi is much lower that that of ADP.

G = G° + RT ln[P]/[R]
