Question

Which one is the first compound which is common for both glucose and fructose in glycolysis?

• A. Fructose 6-P
• B. Glucose 6-P
• C. Fructose 1, 6-biphosphate
• D. Fructose 1-P

Answer 1

The correct option is A Fructose 6-P

Glucose and fructose can both undergo glycolysis when required. However, in case of fructose, it enters glycolysis at a step that bypasses regulatory control of phosphofructokinase. Fructose 6-P is common to both glucose and fructose in glycolysis.

So the answer is 'Fructose 6-P'.
