The reaction catalyzed by aldolase splits fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (F16BP) into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). The AGº' for the 1. reaction is 23.8 kJ/mole. If the concentrations of G3P and DHAP are 2.5 mM and 1 mM, respectively, what concentration of F16BP is needed for the reaction to be at equilibrium in a human cell?

Organic Chemistry of Metabolic Pathways

Metabolic pathways allude to the arrangement of chemical catalyzed reactions that lead to the transformation of a substance into the final product. Metabolic pathways incorporate a progression of reaction where the substrate is changed continuously and the transitional metabolites are persistently recovered.

Glucogenesis

Glucogenesis is a metabolic pathway in which glucose is produced from carbon substrates that are not carbohydrates. This process is observed in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and other micro organisms. The general  definition for glucogenesis or gluconeogenesis is as follows,
