The hydrolysis of glucose-6- phosphate to give glucose plus phosphate has a ∆G o = -...

The hydrolysis of glucose-6- phosphate to give glucose plus phosphate has a ∆G o = - 3.3 kcal/mol. In the liver glucose concentrations are extremely high during the fed state because of the proximity of the liver to the portal vein, and thus hydrolysis should be unfavorable. What is ∆G for this hydrolysis reaction at 0.5 M glucose, 0.01 M phosphate and 10 -6 M for glucose-6- phosphate? (Assume 2.303RT = 1360 cal/mol.) A. -3460 cal/mol B. -1730 cal/mol C....
