(a)
Interpretation:
For the given reaction it should be identified that whether it is exergonic or endergonic and also that whether it produces phosphate which later release energy by giving phosphate group.
Concept Introduction:
Exergonic: The reaction is considered as exergonic if energy released since the reactants loses its energy making the free energy more negative hence making it spontaneous reaction.
Endergonic: The reaction is considered as endergonic if it needs more energy means that activation energy is much higher making the reaction non spontaneous.
Favorable Reaction: They release free energy which in turn used to do work. The products will have lower energy than reactants of the reaction shows that stable products are obtained hence the value of
The tendency for reaction proceed toward product side before reaching equilibrium will increases as more amount of free energy released.
(b)
Interpretation:
For the given reaction it should be identified that whether it is exergonic or endergonic and also that whether it produces phosphate which later release energy by giving phosphate group.

- The formation of acetyl-CoA from acetate is an ATP-driven reaction: Acetate + ATP + CoA Acetyl CoA + AMP + PP₁ Calculate AG" for this reaction given that the AG' for the hydrolysis of acetyl CoA to acetate and CoA is −31.4 kJ mol-¹ (−7.5 kcal mol¯¹) and that the AG°' for hydrolysis of ATP to AMP and PP; is -45.6 kJ mol-¹ (−10.9 kcal mol−¹ ). AG° reaction = AGO! i The PP, formed in the preceding reaction is rapidly hydrolyzed in vivo because of the ubiquity of inorganic pyrophosphatase. The AG" for the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate (PP;) is −19.2 KJ mol-¹ (-4.665 kcal mol-¹). Calculate the AGº' for the overall reaction, including pyrophosphate hydrolysis. reaction with PP, hydrolysis = What effect does the presence of pyrophosphatase have on the formation of acetyl CoA? kJ mol-¹ It does not affect the overall reaction. It brings the overall reaction closer to equilibrium. It makes the overall reaction even more exergonic. It makes the overall reaction even more endergonic. kJ mol-¹ -1arrow_forwardFor myristic acid, C 13H 27CO 2H: (a) How many molecules of acetyl CoA are formed from complete β-oxidation?
