A. is lost as heat
B. is used to reduce NADP
C. remains in the products of metabolism
D. is stored as fat.
3. 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

10. When concentration of the reactants is higher than the equilibrium concentration then
A. the gibbs free energy will be positive
B. the gibbs free energy will be negative
C. more products will be formed
D. both (b) and (c)
12. In glycolysis, ATP is formed by the transfer of a high-energy phosphate from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to ADR No such high-energy phosphate
donor has ever been isolated in mitochondria because
A. the techniques for isolating the phosphate donor are not refined enough
B. no such phosphate donor exists
C. the high-energy phosphate donor is very short-lived and difficult to isolate
