Consider 2 reactions, for which the standard free energy changes are given: Reaction 1: Glucose-1-phosphate + UTP --> UDP-glucose + pyrophosphate AG° = ~0 kJ/mol Reaction 2: pyrophosphate --> 2 Pi AG = -19.2 kJ/mol Which statement is CORRECT concerning these 2 reactions? A reaction that couples reaction 1 and 2 together is not feasible. O A reaction that couples reaction 1 and 2 together would be very slow. O A reaction that couples reaction 1 and 2 together is thermodynamically favorable. A reaction that couples reaction 1 and 2 together is kinetically fast.
