The first reaction in glycolysis that results in the formation of an energy-rich compound is catalyzed by:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, which is the first step in glycolysis that produces an energy-rich compound (in the form of a high-energy phosphate bond). This step is also coupled with the reduction of NAD+ to NADH, contributing to the energy yield of glycolysis.
