Glycolysis occurs in two stages, commonly termed the investment stage and payoff stage. Refer to the description of each stage, Reaction Numbers, and free energy (ΔG˚’) for each reaction step of the glycolytic pathway provided in the BIOT 252-08a course notes.
Calculate the standard free energy change (ΔG˚’) for the catabolism of one mole of glucose by glycolysis for each stage and overall (chart template is provided for reference).
Analyze the free energy values calculated for Stage 1and Stage 2 of glycolysis and associated reactions. Explain the free energy values, supported by direct reference to reactions and energy consumption and production.
