The transition from the C₆ stage of glycolysis to the C₃ stage involves the conversion of the molecule fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into the C₃ species

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conversion of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into the C₃ stage of glycolysis involves the enzyme aldolase, which cleaves the molecule into two 3-carbon fragments: dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). These two molecules then proceed through the remainder of the glycolytic pathway. Therefore, the correct choice is B, dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
