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