MUSCLE ENERGETICS GLYCOLYSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Enzymes catalyze each step of glycolysis.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each reaction in glycolysis is catalyzed by its own enzyme. The most important enzyme for regulation of glycolysis is phosphofructokinase, which catalyzes formation of the unstable, two-phosphate sugar molecule, fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate 4start superscript, 4, end superscript.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is divided into the preparatory phase (glucose to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) and the pay-off phase (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to pyruvate). The glycolysis process generates NADH and ATP molecules. Glycolysis consists of ten steps in which the glucose is partially oxidized to pyruvic acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Step 6 of glycolysis: The reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. This enzyme catalyzes a multistep reaction between three substrates, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, the cofactor NAD+, and inorganic phosphate (Pi) and produces three products 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate, NADH and H+.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolytic Enzymes Are Located on the Outside of the Mitochondrion.
