Correctly identify the energy-yielding step of glycolysis.
Options
- A2-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoenolpyruvate
- BFructose 1, 6-bisphosphate to PGAL and DHAP
- CFructose to fructose-6-phosphate
- DPhosphoenolpyruvic acid to pyruvic acid
Correct answer
D. Phosphoenolpyruvic acid to pyruvic acid
Step-by-step solution
ATP is synthesizes in reaction when phosphoenol pyruvic acid is converted to pyruvic acid, this direct synthesis of ATP is called transphosphorylation or substrate level phosphorylation.
