Explanation of Solution
This question can be answered in two ways: The closer the Gibb’s free energy is to Zero, the reaction is closer to the equilibrium state. This indicates that the products and reactants will affect the direction of the reaction. The following reactions of glycolysis are influenced by the changes in concentration of the substrate and product:
The second step is the change in Gibb’s free energy with the change in the concentrations. Gibb’s free energy changes with the formula
The equilibrium constant can be easily changed when there is a change in the concentration of products as compared to reactants. These change reactions occur in two steps:
Thus, the above two steps are strongly influenced by the changes in concentration of the substrate and product because of their molecularity.
(f)
To write: The reaction of glycolysis which is at or near equilibrium in the erythrocytes.

Explanation of Solution
The following reactions of glycolysis are the reaction of glycolysis which is at or near equilibrium in the erythrocytes:
The closer the Gibb’s free energy to Zero, the reaction is closer to the equilibrium state. The following reactions indicate that under cellular conditions the free energy is very small and doesn’t require regulation.
Thus, the above reactions are at or near equilibrium in the erythrocytes.

- We often describe respiration by the simple equation of 6 O2 + C6H1206 - 6 CO2 + 6 H20. However, as we've now covered, there's way more going on than what's represented by this one equation. Summarize the entire process of energy generation starting from glucose, covering the substances produced through each process involved (no need to summarize the individual steps), where these processes take place, how they interact with each. other, changes in energy and oxidation along the way, and what happens to the molecules produced in the end.arrow_forwardWhich of the two set ups shall generate higher amount of energy in terms of net ATP generated?
