Question

Every step of glycolysis has at least one purpose. For each of the following four steps of glycolysis, match the step of glycolsis, match the step to the correct function given below Note that exzymes are not specified in the given reactions. In this step, molecule is phosphorylated to keep it in the cell. In this, the molecule is split into two, both of which will become pyruvate. In this step, NADH is made. In this step, energy is stored as ATP. In this step, pyruvate is made. Which of the choices above best describes the purpose of the following step of glycolysis?

Explanation / Answer

The enzyme Aldolase splits fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate into two sugars that are isomers of each other. These two sugars are dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP).

Details:

This step utilizes the enzyme aldolase, which catalyzes the cleavage of FBP to yield two 3-carbon molecules. One of these molecules is called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) and the other is called dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP).

So according to this, The correct option would be I.

Hope this helps
