Solution
The correct option is A Fructose 1,6 - diphosphate The fourth step of glycolysis is a splitting process in which Fructose 1,6- diphosphate splits into two 3-carbon, phosphorylated sugars: Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and 3- glyceraldehyde phosphate (3-PGAL). The reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme aldolase. DHAP is converted into PGAL with the aid of an enzyme phosphotriose isomerase.
