- Another step in the metabolism of glucose, which occurs after the formation of glucose6-phosphate, is the conversion of fructose6-phosphate to fructose1,6-bisphosphate(bis meanstwo): Fructose6-phosphate(aq) + H2PO4(aq) fructose l,6-bisphosphate(aq) + H2O() + H+(aq) (a) This reaction has a Gibbs free energy change of +16.7 kJ/mol of fructose6-phosphate.

- Suppose you determined experimentally that a cellular transport system for glucose, driven by symport of Na+, could accumulate glucose to concentrations 25 times greater than in the external medium, while the external [Na+] was only 10 times greater than the intracellular [Na+].
