Question

The following sentences describe some glycolysis reactions. Fill in the blanks by moving words to the appropriate balnks. After this you may check your answer with your book or lecture slides. Note that a single red X will appear if you answer any of the blanks incorrectly. Feedback will be placed next to a blank that is incorrectly filled. Not all the items will be placed. Some terms will be used more than once. In the first reaction of glycolysis, glucose is converted to ________________. The phosphate comes from __________. The product of the first reaction is then converted to fructose-6-phosphate. Fructose-6-phosphate is then phosphorylated by transferring a phosphate group from _____________ to ______________ to form ______________.

Explanation / Answer

During glycolysis, D- glucose is convered to Glucose-6-phosphate.   The glucose ring undergoes phosphorylated. Phosphate is obtained from ATP. Hexakinose enzyme catalyzed this reaction. In the 2nd reaction, glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) is converted into fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) by glucose phosphate isomerase

fructose-6-phosphate is converted to fructose- 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) in the next stage. Here also phosphate group is added from ATP.
