### 1. Evaluating Reaction Conditions

**Prompt:** For a reaction \( \text{A} + \text{B} \rightarrow \text{C} + \text{D} \), given the concentrations \([A]=0.8M\), \([B]=0.8M\), \([C]=0.8M\), and \([D]=0.8M\), which of the following is true?

**Options:**
   - **A.** The reaction takes place under the standard conditions
   - **B.** The free energy change (ΔG) equals the standard free energy change (ΔG°')
   - **C.** Both A and B
   - **D.** Neither A nor B

**Explanation:** This question examines students' understanding of standard conditions in chemical reactions and the relationship between free energy change (ΔG) and standard free energy change (ΔG°'). Standard conditions typically refer to a set concentration of reactants and products, often 1M, among other factors.

### 2. Reaction Conditions in Animal Cells

**Prompt:** Under which of the following conditions will the shown reactions A and B most likely take place simultaneously in an animal?

- **Reaction A:** \( \text{Glucose} + \text{ATP} \rightarrow \text{Glucose-6-phosphate} \)
- **Reaction B:** \( \text{Glucose-6-phosphate} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Glucose} + \text{P}_i \)

**Options:**
   - **A.** When fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is inhibited by high levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate
   - **B.** When skeletal muscle is resting and does not undergo anaerobic glycolysis
   - **C.** When an animal undergoes the Cori cycle
   - **D.** None of the above

**Explanation:** This question focuses on metabolic pathways and conditions under which certain reactions occur. Reaction A is part of glycolysis or the pentose phosphate pathway, where glucose is phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate. Reaction B is the hydrolysis of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose, relevant in gluconeogenesis.
