Which of the following statement is correct about glycolysis?
Options
- AIn this process, glucose undergoes complete oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.
- BIn aerobic organisms, it is the only process in respiration.
- CThe fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is split into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL).
- DIn plants, this glucose is derived from sucrose, which is the end product of photosynthesis, or from structura
Correct answer
C. The fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is split into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL).
Step-by-step solution
In glycolysis, glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. In plants, this glucose is derived from sucrose, which is the end product of photosynthesis, or from storage carbohydrates like starch. In anaerobic organisms, it is the only process in respiration.
