A biochemical pathway produces metabolite E. This pathway consists of A, B, C and D intermediates that require enzymes 1, 2, 3 and 4 to catalyze each step of the reaction.

a. Given the following information about each reaction, state which reactions are exergonic or endergonic. Where possible, state which reactions are exothermic or endothermic.

i. A → B, ΔG = +3

ii. B → C, ΔH = -2, TΔS = 4

iii. C→ D, ΔH = 2, TΔS = -4

iv. D→ E, ΔG = +4

b. Is this pathway anabolic or catabolic?
