Solution

The correct option is D Dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvate it is a sequence of 10 enzyme catalyzed reactions. The second stage of glycolysis and 4th step begins with the splitting of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate(DHAP) and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde(GAP) in the presence of the enzyme aldolase.
So, the correct answer is ' Dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde '.
