Question
Table 9.2 shows that Go’ for the aldolase reaction is large, and positive, yet the reaction
proceeds in the forward direction. Using the metabolite concentrations in table 9.3, calculate the actual
G in the cell for the reaction to show that it is consistent with the value reported in table 9.2. Explain in
words the strategy the cell uses to keep glycolysis moving in the forward direction (1-2 sentences).
