During glycolysis, which one of the following intermediates undergoes oxidation as well as phosphorylation?

Options

  1. A3-PGAL
  2. BFructose-1,6-diphosphate
  3. C2-PGA
  4. D3-PGA

Correct answer

A. 3-PGAL

Step-by-step solution

During glycolysis, the conversion of 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (3-PGAL) to 1,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid (1,3-BPGA) is catalyzed by the enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

In this step, 3-PGAL undergoes oxidation by the removal of hydrogen, which is accepted by NAD+NAD^{+} to form NADH+H+NADH + H^{+}. Simultaneously, it undergoes phosphorylation by the addition of inorganic phosphate (H_3PO_4)toform1,3−BPGA.<br><br>Fructose−1,6−diphosphateundergoescleavagetoform3−PGALandDHAP.<br><br>3−PGAundergoesisomerizationtoform2−PGA.<br><br>2−PGAundergoesdehydrationtoformphosphoenolpyruvate(PEP).<br><br>Answer:3−PGAL) to form 1,3-BPGA.<br><br>Fructose-1,6-diphosphate undergoes cleavage to form 3-PGAL and DHAP.<br><br>3-PGA undergoes isomerization to form 2-PGA.<br><br>2-PGA undergoes dehydration to form phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP).<br><br>Answer: 3-PGAL
