Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the phosphofructokinase-1 catalyzed reaction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phosphofructokinase-1 catalyzed reaction is exergonic, meaning it releases energy. The "priming reaction" refers to the initial steps of glycolysis, which prepare the glucose molecule for further breakdown. The "valve" is a regulatory step that controls the rate of glycolysis. The reaction commits the cell to metabolize glucose because it is an irreversible step in the pathway. Therefore, the correct answer is A, which states the reaction is endergonic (opposite of exergonic).
