Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The enzyme that produces G3P & DHAP is:
A
Hexokinase
B
Aldolase
C
PhosphoFructoKinase
D
Enolase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1. 2.13), often just aldolase, is an enzyme catalyzing a reversible reaction that splits the aldol, fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate, into the triose phosphates dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P).

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is converted to glyceradehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) by the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aldolase is a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose 1-6-diphosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxy-acetone phosphate via the glycolysis metabolic pathway. Within the cell, aldolase is localized in both the cytoplasm and nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -The triosephosphate isomerase 1 enzyme carries out a specific reaction during glycolysis: the conversion of a molecule called dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aldolase A (ALDOA, or ALDA), also known as fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALDOA gene on chromosome 16. Chr. Chr.
