21. The Generation of Biochemical Energy / ATP and Energy / Problem 4
Problem 4
During glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate with several intermediate steps involving phosphorylation by ATP. Without these phosphorylation steps driven by ATP hydrolysis, would these reactions be exergonic or endergonic? In these reactions, the hydrolysis of the ATP portion is based on what major strategy of metabolism?
