Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What enzyme is responsible during the splitting of fructose 1.6-Bisphosphate into Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) and Dihydrocyacetone phosphate (DHAP)?
A
Triose phosphate isomerase
B
Aldolase
C
Pyruvate
D
Phosphoglycerate mutase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In glycolysis fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is made into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate through the use of aldolase. The aldolase used in gluconeogenesis and glycolysis is a cytoplasmic protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytosolic aldolase catalyzes the reversible reaction of fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate to form dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

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