Question

In glycolysis, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is converted lo two products with a standard free energy change (DeltaG^10 of 23.8 kJ/mol. Under what conditions (encountered in a normal cell) will free energy change (DeltaG) be negative, enabling the reaction to proceed forward? Under standard conditions, enough energy is released to drive the reaction to the right e reaction will not 90 to the right spontaneously under any conditions because DeltaG^10 is positive When there is a high concentration of fructose 1.6-bisphosphate relative to the concentration of products When there is a high concentration of a product relative to the concentration of fructose 1.6 bisphosphate If the concentrations of the two products are high relative to that of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate

Explanation / Answer

The glycolysis will give a -ve net free energy change when,

When there is a high concentration of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate relative to the concentration of the products.
