Question

What can become dhap or g3p?

a) Glycolysis
b) Gluconeogenesis
c) Citric Acid Cycle
d) Pentose Phosphate Pathway

Answer 1

DHAP or G3P can be formed in the glycolysis pathway, where glucose is split into these two three-carbon molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound that can become dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) is found in several metabolic pathways. However, specifically in the context of becoming DHAP or G3P, the correct pathway is glycolysis (a). In glycolysis, glucose is split into two three-carbon molecules, which can be either DHAP or G3P. G3P is further used in the pathway to produce pyruvate. The enzyme triose-phosphate isomerase can convert DHAP into G3P. The pentose phosphate pathway also produces DHAP, which can then enter the glycolysis pathway.
