Question

1. Place the following intermediates of glycolysis in their correct order in the pathway:

(1) glucose
(2) 2-phosphoglycerate
(3) 3-phosphoglycerate
(4) glucose-6-phosphate
(5) fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (6) fructose-6-phosphate
(7) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (8) 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
(9) pyruvate
(10) phosphoenolpyruvate

Circle the correct answer below:

(a) 1, 4, 7, 8, 10, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9

(b) 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 7, 2, 3, 9, 10

(c) 4, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 3, 2, 10, 9

(d) 1, 4, 6, 5, 7, 8, 3, 2, 10, 9

(e) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Explanation / Answer

The correct order is option d

Glucose is converted into glucose-6-phosphate by hexokinase.Glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6- phosphate by isomerase. F-6-P to F-1,6-bisphosphate by phosphofructokinase. Then to G-3-P by aldose and next step is catalyzed by triose phosphate isomerase.

Next step is catalyzed by G-3-P dehydrogenase and next is by phosphoglycerate kinase.

Phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate is by pyruvate kinase.
