### Glycolysis and Free Energy Change#### 4. Reaction and Free Energy in GlycolysisThe glycolytic pathway involves several key reactions, one of which is indicated below. The reaction shows the equilibrium between glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) and fructose-6-phosphate (F6P), with a standard free energy change (ΔG°'):\[ \text{Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P)} \leftrightarrow \text{Fructose-6-phosphate (F6P)}\]The standard free energy change for this reaction is +0.4 kcal/mol.#### C) Steady-State Concentrations and Reaction DirectionGiven the steady-state concentrations in the cell at 25°C:- \[ \text{[G6P]} = 0.675 \, \text{mM} \]- \[ \text{[F6P]} = 0.0969 \, \text{mM} \]Determine the direction in which the reaction proceeds by calculating the actual free energy change under these conditions.**Calculations:**1. **Convert concentrations to Molarity:** \[ \text{[G6P]} = 0.675 \, \text{mM} = 6.75 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{M} \] \[ \text{[F6P]} = 0.0969 \, \text{mM} = 9.69 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{M} \]2. **Use the Gibbs free energy equation:** The actual free energy change (ΔG) can be calculated using the formula: \[ ΔG = ΔG°' + RT \ln \left(\frac{\text{[Products]}}{\text{[Reactants]}}\right) \] Where: - \( R \) is the universal gas constant \( (1.987 \, \text{cal/mol·K}) \) - \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin (298 K, since \( 25°C = 298 K \)) \[ ΔG = 0.4 \, \text{kcal/mol} + 0.001987 \, \text{kcal
