Which of the following C₆ stage glycolysis intermediates is paired with the correct type of enzyme needed for its production?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose 6-phosphate is produced from glucose through the action of hexokinase or glucokinase, which are both types of kinase enzymes. Fructose 6-phosphate is produced from glucose 6-phosphate through the action of phosphohexoisomerase, which is not a dehydrogenase enzyme. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is produced from fructose 6-phosphate through the action of aldolase, and subsequently undergoes a mutase reaction to produce dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, so neither of these enzymes is directly involved in its production. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
