Question
10. The first reaction in glycolysis is the phosphorylation of glucose:

\[ \text{Pi + Glucose} \rightarrow \text{Glucose-6-phosphate} \]

This is a thermodynamically unfavorable process with \( \Delta G^\circ = +13.8 \, \text{kJ/mol} \). In a liver cell at 37°C, the concentration of both phosphate and glucose are normally maintained at about 5 mM each. The equilibrium concentration of glucose-6-phosphate according to the above data is:

A. \( 1.18 \times 10^{-7} \)

B. \( 8.50 \times 10^{-4} \)

C. \( 4.25 \times 10^{-5} \)

D. \( 2.21 \times 10^{-5} \)

E. \( 1.38 \times 10^{-8} \)

F. \( 3.02 \times 10^{-3} \)

G. \( 6.75 \times 10^{-6} \)

H. \( 4.08 \times 10^{-5} \)

I. \( 9.15 \times 10^{-6} \)
