Answer:

Steps 1, 3, and 10 of glycolysis are bypassed in the gluconeogenesis pathway. These steps are spontaneous and irreversible Since the two pathways do not share all the steps this means they are not the irreversible, thus presenting no thermodynamic barrier to the concurrent occurrence of the pathways.
