Which of the following reactions is unique to the process of glycolysis?

a. fructose-1,6-bisphosphate ====> glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + dihydroxyacetone phosphate

b. 2-phosphoglycerate =====> 3-phosphoglycerate

c. glucose-6-phosphate =====> fructose-6-phosphate

d. phosphoenolpyruvate =====> pyruvate

Solutions

Expert Solution

Correct Option:

d. phosphoenolpyruvate =====> pyruvate

Explanation:

a. fructose-1,6-bisphosphate ====> glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + dihydroxyacetone phosphate

This is a reversible reaction and is also used in gluconeogenesis.

b. 2-phosphoglycerate =====> 3-phosphoglycerate

This step is reversible, and the enzyme is used again in gluconeogenesis

c. glucose-6-phosphate =====> fructose-6-phosphate

This reaction is reversible and is also used in the gluconeogenesis pathway.

d. phosphoenolpyruvate =====> pyruvate

This reaction is unique to glycolysis.
