Practice question
Question
Fumaric acid is produced from Malic acid using Fumarase. Calculate standard heat of reaction for the following transformation: C4H6O5 → C4H4O4 + H2O Given: (Δhc°)malic acid= -1328.8 kJ/gmol (Δhc°)Fumaric acid= -1334.0 kJ/gmol
Explanation
In general biology, core biological organization dictates that structure-function relationships govern cellular processes. Therefore 5.2 kJ /gmol is correct as it integrates fundamental principles, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
