An endergonic reaction that requires/absorbs 7.0 kcal/mol of free energy is coupled to an exergonic reaction that releases 7.0 kcal/mol of free energy. Will the energy provided by the exergonic reaction be enough to drive the endergonic reaction forward?

Does all the energy released by an exergonic reaction go into driving a coupled endergonic reaction? Give an example to support your answer.
4. A reaction has a ΔG of -5.6 kcal/mol. Which of the following would most likely be true? - The reaction could be coupled to power an endergonic reaction with a ΔG of +8.8 kcal/mol. - The reaction is nonspontaneous. - To take place, the reaction would need to couple to ATP hydrolysis. - The reaction would result in products with a greater free-energy content than in the initial reactants. - The reaction would proceed by itself but might be very slow.

A reaction has a ΔG of 5.6 kcal/mol. Circle the correct answer and state why each incorrect answer is true. The reaction could be coupled to a power endergonic reaction with a ΔG of +8.8 kcal/mol. The reaction is nonspontaneous and endergonic. To take place, the reaction would need to couple to ATP hydrolysis. The reaction would result in products with a greater free-energy content than in the initial reactants. The reaction would proceed by itself but might be very slow. During a laboratory experiment, you discover that an enzyme-catalyzed reaction has a ΔG of kcal/mol. If you double the amount of enzyme in the reaction, what will be the ΔG for the reaction? Briefly explain your choice below. A-40 kcal/mol 20 kcal/mol.
