Chapter 23, Problem 23.28P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The equation for the coupled reaction from the given reactions is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A biochemical reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which one molecule is transformed into different molecules present inside the cell of the living beings. These reactions occur via the help of certain biological enzymes that can alter the rate of the chemical reaction. The term coupled reactions refer to a pair of reactions that take place together. Although these reactions are represented in the form of two different chemical reactions, they are actually a single chemical reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The coupled reaction is energetically favorable or not is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A biochemical reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which one molecule is transformed into other molecules present inside the cell of the living beings. These reactions occur via the help of certain biological enzymes that can alter the rate of the chemical reaction.

The term coupled reactions refer to a pair of reactions that take place together. Although these reactions are represented in the form of two different chemical reactions. Generally, in a biochemical reaction, an energetically favorable reaction such as ATP hydrolysis is coupled with an energetically unfavorable or endergonic reaction.
