4. Consider the two systems shown below. These systems are coupled such that compound X carrying a phosphate group (X-P) transfers the phosphate to compound Y forming Y-P (that is Y carrying a phosphate group). (Pi represents unbound phosphate.)

Reaction 1: X-P + H2O <===> X + Pi ∆G = -43.0 kJ/mol Reaction 2: Y + Pi <===> Y-P + H2O ∆G = +29.4 kJ/mol
