Answer: 2. organelle

A different organelle controls each step of glycolysis.

Explanation:

The process of glycolysis breaks down each glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules. The glucose molecule has 6 carbon atoms and the two pyruvates have 3 carbon atoms each.

Glycolysis contains 10 steps and each one of the steps is controlled by different enzymes.

The enzymes controlling each of the 10 steps are given below

Step1- hexokinase phosphorylates

Step 2-ophosphoglucoismerase

Step 3-phosphofructokinase

Step 4-aldolase

Step 5-triose phosphate isomerase

Step 6-triose phosphate dehydrogenase

Step 7-phosphoglycerokinase

Step 8-phosphoglyceromutase

Step 9-enolase

Step 10-pyruvate kinase
