Question

1) What is the sequence of the RNA codon for Arg that is produced from this gene sequence?

the gene sequence is 5' - CGT - 3', would the RNA codon be ACG because the answer is always listed as 5' - 3' ?

2) in Glycolysis, the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate

A) is strongly exergonic that it does not require an enzyme to catalyze the reaction
B) is essentially unnecessary reaction that depletes the [ATP] concentration in the cell
C) is an endergonic reaction the takes place because it is coupled to the exergonic cleavage of ATP
D) is an exergonic reaction that is coupled to the endergonic hydrolysis of ATP
E) occurs when he concentration of Pi is high enough to add to the D-glucose


I was thinking the correct answer was C, because phosphorylation of glucose is an endergonic reaction, while the hydrolysis of ATP is an exergonic reaction

Answer 1

Yes, considering codons are always 5 prime to 3 prime that appears to be correct. For question 2 your reasoning for answer choice C is correct.
