Question

3-Phosphoglyceraldehyde is oxidised in glycolysis to form

• A. 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
• B. Phosphophenol pyruvate
• C. 2-phosphoglycerate
• D. 3-phosphoglycerate

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate

Oxidation of 3-Phosphoglyceraldehyde

The pathway of the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid is termed as glycolysis.

During the sixth step, 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde is oxidized to 1,3-bisphsosphoglycerate in presence of enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. During this reaction, $NA{D}^{+}$ is converted to NADH.

Final answer: (A) 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
