Question

Below is a partial list of the intermediates in glycolysis. Put them in proper order by matching 1 to the first one, 2 to the second, etc. Do not attempt to account for any intermediates not included in the list, use only the numerals 1 through 6 Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P)

1. Phosphoenolpyruvate (OEO)
2. Pyruvate
3. Fructose-6-phosphate (F6P)
4. Phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL)
5. Fructose-1,6-Phosphate (F16P)

Answer 1

The sequence will be 6, 3, 5, 4, 1, and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The glycolysis is also known as Embden-Meyerhof pathway, wherein one mole of glucose is oxidized into two moles of pyruvate in a series of enzyme catalyzed reactions. The given are the intermediates for glycolysis pathway. This pathway takes phase in two phases (A) Preparatory phase- where the glucose is phosphorylated into 6. Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), which is further isomerized into 3. Fructose-6-phosphate (F6P), whic is further phosphorylated into 5. Fructose-1,6-biPhosphate (F16P) and further converted into 4. Phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL). (B) Pay-off phase- herein the energy is generated from Phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL) via the formation of 1. Phosphoenolpyruvate (OEO) and thereafter the formation of 2. Pyruvate (the final product of glycolysis).
