In glycolysis, ATP is used in which of the following reactions?
Options
- AConversion of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate
- BConversion of 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde is converted to 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate
- CConversion of glucose into glucose 6-phosphate
- DBoth (A) and (C)
Correct answer
D. Both (A) and (C)
Step-by-step solution
ATP is utilised at two steps: first in the conversion of glucose into glucose 6-phosphate and second in the conversion of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate. One step where NADH + H + is formed from NAD + ; this is when 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL) is converted to 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPGA).
