Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
phospho glceraldehyde is converted to 1, 3 bis phospho glyceric acid by the enzyme
A
Dehydrogenase
B
Aldolase
C
Kinase
D
Isomerase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -PGAL is oxidised and with inorganic phosphate to get converted into BPGA. Enzyme that catalyses this reaction is Diphosphoglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase.

Detailed explanation-2: -As previously mentioned 1, 3BPG is a metabolic intermediate in the glycolytic pathway. It is created by the exergonic oxidation of the aldehyde in G3P. The result of this oxidation is the conversion of the aldehyde group into a carboxylic acid group which drives the formation of an acyl phosphate bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -1, 3-Bisphosphoglyceric acid (1, 3-Bisphosphoglycerate or 1, 3BPG) is a 3-carbon organic molecule present in most, if not all, living organisms. It primarily exists as a metabolic intermediate in both glycolysis during respiration and the Calvin cycle during photosynthesis.
