  • Question
  • Why does the glycolytic pathway continue in the direction of glucose catabolism?


  • Options
  • A. There are essentially three irreversible reactions that act as the driving force for the pathway
  • B. High levels of ATP keep the pathway going in a forward direction
  • C. The enzymes of glycolysis only function in one direction
  • D. Glycolysis occurs in either direction

  • Correct Answer
  • There are essentially three irreversible reactions that act as the driving force for the pathway
