Several of the reactions of glycolysis are thermodynamically unfavorable, but proceed when they are coupled with other reactions. A: \( \mathrm{Pi}+ \) glucose \( \cdots \) glucose-6-P \( +\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \) delta \( \mathbf{G}=13.8 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mole} \) \( B: \mathrm{Pi}+ \) fructose-6-phosphate \( \rightarrow \) fructose-1,6 bisphosphate \( +\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \) delta \( G=16.3 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mole} \) C: ATP \( +\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{ADP}+\mathrm{Pi} \) delta \( \mathrm{G}=-30.5 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mole} \) Which of these reactions can be coupled so that the overall reaction is favorable? Choose all combinations which would be favorable. \( A \) and \( C \) \( B \) and \( C \) \( A \) and \( B \)
