Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. The breakdown of fructose to Citric acid is called glycolysis. 2. The term glycolysis has originated from the Greek words, glycos for sugar, and lysis for splitting. 3.The fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is split into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde. 4. The conversion of BPGA to 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA), is also an energy yielding p

Step-by-step solution

The breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid is called glycolysis. The term glycolysis has originated from the Greek words, glycos for sugar, and lysis for splitting.,The fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is split into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL). We find that there is one step where NADH + H+ is formed from NAD+ ; this is when 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL) is converted to 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPGA). Two redox-equivalents are removed (in the form of two hydrogen atoms) from PGAL and tra
