The reason corresponding to the fact that the reaction between NADH and oxygen which is thermodynamically favorable does not take place rapidly is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Exergonic reaction is the reaction in which the energy is released. The exergonic reaction has negative Gibb’s free energy. These reactions are spontaneous reactions.

Reductive power. What ratio of NADPH to NADP+ is required to sustain [GSH] = 10 mM and [GSSG] = 1 mM ? Use the redox potentials given in Table 18.1 .
Please ASA. Thanku.   In the reaction Na + Cl à Na+ + Cl-, which component is said to become ‘oxidized’ and which is considered reduced?     Na, Cl     Cl, Cl     Na, Na     Cl, Na
A violation of the First Law? The complete combustion of glucose to CO 2 and H 2 O yields 30 ATP, as shown in Table 18.4 . However, the synthesis of glucose requires only 18 ATP. How is it possible that glucose synthesis from CO 2 and H 2 O requires only 18 ATP , but combustion to CO 2 and H 2 O yields 30 ATP? Is it a violation of the First Law of Thermodynamics , or perhaps a miracle?
