Solution
The correct option is C
A - 1, 3-bisphosphoglyceric acid, B - Pyruvic acid
In glycolysis, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate undergoes oxidation and forms 1,3-bis phosphoglyceric acid in the preparatory phase. In this reaction NAD+ is reduced to NADH and H+. In the last step, phosphoenol pyruvate is dephosphorylated to pyruvic acid. In this reaction, phosphate is transferred to ADP to form ATP in payoff phase. Therefore the correct answer is 1,3-biophosphoglycerate and pyruvate or pyruvic acid.
