Consider the Following Two Chemical Equations

Multiple Choice

Consider the following two chemical equations:
A. glucose + fructose → sucrose + H₂O, Δ G = +27 kJ/mole (or +6.5 kcal/mole)
B. glucose + fructose + ATP → sucrose + ADP + P_i, Δ G = −5 kJ/mole (or −1.2 kcal/mole)
The overall free energy change in the chemical equations (A) and (B) above is accomplished by

A) a decrease in activation energy.
B) combining two endergonic reactions.
C) combining an endergonic and an exergonic reaction.
D) combining two exergonic reactions.
E) measuring the reaction rate.
