Reactions far from equilibrium are highly regulated in metab

Reactions far from equilibrium are highly regulated in metabolic pathways because:

a. These reactions occur most frequently in the cell

b. The net flux through these steps is easily reversed

c. These reactions are highly exergonic

d. Enzymes that catalyze reactions far from equilibrium are more easily phosphorylated

e. The rate differences between the forward and reverse steps are often small

Solution

Ans d the enzymes are easily phosphorylated otherwise

For example glycolysis is metabolic pathway for cellular respiration

It helps in phosphorylation in steps like glucose is converted to glucose 6 phosphate by adding inorganic phosphate in presence of enzyme glucose 6phosphate kinase
