A chemist has discovered a drug that blocks phosphoglucoisomerase, an enzyme that catalyzes the second reaction in glycolysis. He wants to use the drug to treat people with bacterial infections. However, he can't do this because _____. A. bacteria do not perform glycolysis B. human cells also perform glycolysis; the drug might also poison them C. bacteria are facultative anaerobes; they usually don't need to perform glycolysis D. glycolysis produces so little ATP that the drug will have little effect
