Two ATP molecules are expended in the energy investment phase of glycolysis. Why is this energy necessary to begin the process of glucose catabolism?
A) It isn't; glucose contains 686 kcal/mole in its chemical bonds, so its catabolism is spontaneous.
B) It is needed to generate the electron carrier NAD+.
C) It is needed to prime the enzymes of glycolysis.
D) Glucose is a stable molecule; thus, some energy must be invested to make the molecule unstable and begin the process of catabolism.
