What distinguishes a linear metabolic pathway from a cyclic metabolic pathway? A. The last step of the pathway regenerates a reactant for the first step. B. The product inhibits an enzyme in the pathway, slowing or stopping the metabolic pathway. C. A linear pathway runs straight in one direction from reactant to product. D. Enzymes convert reactants into intermediates before separate enzymes convert intermediates into products.
