Seven of the ten reactions in the glycolytic pathway have free energy values close to zero.What does this tell us about those reactions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reactions with free energy values close to zero are near equilibrium, indicating they can proceed in either direction under physiological conditions, making them reversible. These characteristics also mean they are not typically the points at which the pathway is regulated, as control is often exerted at steps far from equilibrium. Thus, all of the statements A, B, and C are correct, making D the correct choice.
