B) The reaction steps with positive standard free energy changes are likely to be regulatory steps for the pathway.
C) The steps with a positive standard free energy change are the fastest steps in the pathway.
D) The steps with a positive standard free energy change must be coupled to an ATP →ADP conversion.
