Question

The first reaction in Glycolysis is the phosphorylation of Glucose:
Pi + Glucose → Glucose 6-Phosphate + water
This is a thermodynamically unfavorable process with a ∆G0’ = +13.8 kJ/mol.  In a liver cell at
370C the concentrations of both phosphate and glucose are normally maintained at about 0.005 M each.  What would be the equilibrium concentration of Glucose 6-Phosphate according to the above data?  Note:  In the biochemical standard state ​[H2O] = 1.0

a. 0.00000012

b. 0.0000025

c. 0.00000025

d. 0.00474

e. 0.005

f. 1.0

g. 0.1

h. 0.25
