The standard free energy change (AG) for step 1 of glycolysis (shown below) is -16.7 kJ/mol. Within red blood cells, the reaction is even more favorable and the actual free energy change (AG) is closer to-34 kJ/mol. Glucose + ATP Glucose 6-phosphate + ADP + H - Explain one way that actual conditions within cells/organisms make this reaction more energetically favorable than predicted by AG.
