Among the following, identify the substrate required for the only oxidative reaction that occurs in the process of glycolysis.
Options
- A3- Phosphoglyceric acid
- BGlyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
- CFructose 6-phosphate
- DGlucose 6-phosphate
Correct answer
B. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
Step-by-step solution
In glycolysis, only one oxidative reaction occurs in which the hydrogen liberated is accepted by N A D + forming N A D H + H + . In this glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is hydrogen donor and is oxidized to form 1,3 diphosphoglyceric acid.
