Is the bolded statement true or false? Concentrations of ATP, ADP, and Pi are maintained at a steady state in a cell. Classify the following as true or false given the concept of a steady state. 41. The steady state means that concentration of reactants and products are equal within the cell. 42. The steady state means that concentration of reactants and products within the cell are in the same ratio as what is observed for the Keq of a reaction. 43. The steady state allows small changes in reactant/product concentration but, due to regulation, will reestablish the original reactant/product concentrations after the change occurs. 44. Energy must be used to maintain a steady state, unlike the maintenance of chemical equilibrium. 45. Free energy in the ATP/ADP/Pi steady state within a cell is higher than the free energy in the ATP/ADP/Pi reaction at standard conditions.
