Question

How do irreversible reactions in glycolysis contribute to the pathway's directionality?

Accepted Answer

They have negative delta G values, making them energetically favorable and driving the pathway forward.

Answer

They produce intermediates that inhibit reverse reactions.

Answer

They are catalyzed by enzymes that only function in one direction.

Answer

They are located in the mitochondria, preventing reversal.
