Note that Gor free energy in kcal is indicated along the vertical axis. The abbreviations in upper case
letters along the horizontal axis at the bottom represent the various intermediates in the glycolytic
conversion of glucose to pyruvate and to lactate. Therefore, the difference in any two points on the
graph represents the difference in free energy between the two points. For instance, the AG'and the
AG indicated with arrows on the left-hand end of the graph represent the two types of free energy
changes associated with the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate catalyzed by hexokinase.
