The reaction converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate (energetically unfavorable) can be coupled with the conversion of atp to adp (energetically favorable): glycerol+hpo42−atp+h2o⟶⟶glycerol-3- phosphate+h2oadp+hpo42−+h+ part a what are the net products of the coupled reactions above?

glycerol-3-phosphate, ADP, H⁺

Explanation:

The reaction of converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate which makes is unfavorable and is coupled with the second reaction which involves conversion of ATP to ADP which is high energetically favorable.

Reaction 1:  Glycerol + HPO₄²⁻ ⇒ Glycerol-3-phosphate + water

Reaction 2:             ATP  + H₂O ⇒ ADP + HPO₄²⁻ + H⁺

The coupled reaction of both the reactions become favorable. Thus, the overall coupled reaction is:

Glycerol + ATP ⇒ Glycerol-3-phosphate + ADP + H⁺

The net products are = glycerol-3-phosphate, ADP, H⁺

the answer is the first option

explanation:

just googled it m8. not that hard

lol

1. they vary with a higher number because boiling is way hotter than melting
