Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transketolase enzyme transfers a 2-carbon fragment from a ketose to an aldose in the pentose phosphate pathway. Choice A and D are incorrect because the transfer is only of a 2-carbon fragment, not 3-carbon. Choice C is incorrect because the transfer is between a ketose and an aldose, not between two ketoses. Choice E is incorrect because the transfer is from a ketose to an aldose, not from an aldose to a ketose.
