Question

which δg process among a - d is false? (+) δg process: protein synthesis (-) δg process: atp hydrolysis (+) δg process: glucose moving across a membrane from an area of high to low concentration (-) δg process: likely a metabolic reaction where the reactants are 100,000 - fold excess greater than the products a - d are all correct.

Explanation:

A negative $\Delta G$ indicates a spontaneous process. ATP hydrolysis is a spontaneous (-) $\Delta G$ process as it releases energy. Protein synthesis is a non - spontaneous (+) $\Delta G$ process as it requires energy input. A metabolic reaction with reactants 100,000 - fold in excess of products is likely spontaneous (-) $\Delta G$. Glucose moving from high to low concentration is a spontaneous (-) $\Delta G$ passive transport process. So, the statement about glucose moving across a membrane from high to low concentration having a (+) $\Delta G$ is false.

Answer:

C. (+) $\Delta G$ process: glucose moving across a membrane from an area of high to low concentration
