Chemical equilibrium is relatively rare in living cells. An example of a reaction at chemical equilibrium in a cell would be_____.
a.) an endergonic reaction in an active metabolic pathway where the energy for that reaction is supplies only by heat from the environment
b.) a chemical reaction in which both the reactants and products are not being produced or used in any active metabolic pathway at that time in the cell
c.) one in which the free energy at equilibrium is higher than the energy content at any point away from equilibrium
d.) one in which the entropy change in the reaction is just balanced by an opposite entropy change in the cell's surroundings
Answer: B
