Options
- AA-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
- BA-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
- CA-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
- DA-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
Correct answer
B. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
Step-by-step solution
The steps of glycolysis and their corresponding events are as follows: A. Glucose Glucose-6-phosphate: This is the first step of glycolysis where one molecule of ATP is utilized to phosphorylate glucose. (A-II) B. PGAL 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate: In this step, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (PGAL) is oxidized, and NAD^+ is reduced to form NADH + H^+ . (B-IV) C. 2-Phosphoglycerate Phosphoenolpyruvate: This step is catalyzed by the enzyme enolase and involves the removal of a water molecule (dehydration). (C-III) D. Phospho
