Question

During glycolysis fructose $1,6$-bisphosphate is split into

• A. dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 2- phosphoglycera. dehyde
• B. dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 1 -phosphoglyceraldehyde
• C. dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 2-phosphoglycerate
• D. dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

During glycolysis fructose $1,6$-biphosphate (a product of second phosphorylation, i.e., phosphorylation of fructose $6$- phosphate) is splits into (splitting phase) into two molecule of triose phosphate, i.e., dihydroxy acetone phosphate and $3$ phosphoglyceraldehyde.
