In your answer, write CORRECT next to the statement that you think is true, and ONLY for the ones that you think are false, explain what is wrong with the statement . When glucose reacts with ATP to form glucose-6-phosphate (as shown on the figure below): 1. The synthesis of glucose-6-phosphate is exergonic 2. ADP is at a higher energy level than ATP 3. Glucose-6-phosphate is at a higher energy level than glucose 4.

- In one of the early tests of the chemiosmotic model, formation of ATP was assayed in a suspension of thylakoid vesicles. These vesicles had their stromal surface facing outward, that is, right -side-out. These vesicles were first acidified to pH 4 and then made alkaline in the presence of ADP and " PO..
