Question

In glycolysis, a six-carbon glucose molecule is broken down to two molecules of three-carbon pyruvate. Which of the following is a step in glycolysis?

The pyruvate produced from glucose can generate more energy. Which is true of conversion of pyruvate to more energy?

phosphate transfer, in which a phosphate group from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is transferred to ATP dehydration of the phosphoglycerate molecules cleavage, where a water molecule is broken off a fructose-1,6-bisphosphate phosphorylation, in which a phosphate group from glucose-6-phosphate is added to ATP

Explanation / Answer

1. In glycolysis process phosphorylation is a process in which phosphate group from glucose-6-phosphate is added to ATP.

2.the conditions involved in conversion of pyruvate to more energy are aerobic and NADH is used to produce acetyl-CoA
