Interpretation:
The reaction obtained by coupling hydrolysis of acetyl phosphate to acetate and hydrogen phosphate ion with phosphorylation of
Concept Introduction:
Exergonic: The reaction is considered as exergonic if energy released since the reactants loses its energy making the free energy more negative hence making it spontaneous reaction.
Endergonic: The reaction is considered as endergonic if it needs more energy means that activation energy is much higher making the reaction non spontaneous.
Favorable Reaction: They release free energy which in turn used to do work. The products will have lower energy than reactants of the reaction shows that stable products are obtained hence the value of
The tendency for reaction proceed toward product side before reaching equilibrium will increases as more amount of free energy released.
Hydrolysis: The reaction in which chemical compound is breakdown in presence of water is termed as hydrolysis. Here water serves as one reactant.
Phosphorylation: It involves transfer of phosphate group from inorganic/organic phosphate to another chemical compound.

O Only the anabolic direction will occur because the free energy change is positive. O The reaction will proceed in both directions simultaneously. This reaction can only proceed in one direction and must be the rate limiting reaction for this point in metabolism.arrow_forward
- A total of 30.5 kJ mol-1 of free energy is needed to synthesise ATP from ADP and Pi when the reactants and products are at 1.0 M concentrations and the temperature is 25oC. Because the actual physiological concentrations of ATP, ADP, and Pi are not 1.0 M, and the temperature is 37oC, the free energy required to synthesise ATP under physiological conditions is actually ~ 46.2 kJ mol-1.
