Question

The molecule 1,3-bisphosphoglyeerate can be converted to 3-phosphoenolpyruvate two ways. One way is catalyzed by the glycolytic pathway enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase. The other route is a two step reaction sequence that uses the enzymes bisphosphoglycerate mutase and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase. The intermediate product of the two-step sequence is 2,3-BPG which is an allosteric inhibitor of hemoglobin. What disadvantage would there be if the glycolytic pathway only used the two-step reaction sequence

Explanation / Answer

Energy production that means ATPs ar not produced.
