Question: Which of the following is required for conversion of 3PGAL and dihydroxy acetone phosphate to fructose 1, 6 diphosphate

Options:

A) Transketolase

B) Aldolase

C) Phosphatase

D) Hexokinase

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \underset{[\text{ 4},\text{Molecules }]}{\mathop{\underset{PGAL}{\mathop{3-Phosphoglyceraldehyde}},}},\underset{Isomerase}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{Triose,phosphate}}}, $ $ \underset{[\text{ 4},\text{Molecules }]}{\mathop{\underset{\text{(DHAP)}}{\mathop{Dihydroxyacetone,phosphate}},}}, $ $ \underset{[\text{ 2},\text{molecules }]}{\mathop{Dihydroxyacetone,phosphate}},+3-\underset{2,molecules}{\mathop{phosphoglyceral}}, $ $ dehyde\xrightarrow{Aldolase}fructose-\underset{[\text{ 2},\text{molecules }]}{\mathop{\text{1,},6-diphosphate}}, $
