Which of the following statements (i to v) regarding glycolysis are correct.
(i) It is ten enzymatic reactions that convert a six-carbon molecule to a three carbon pyruvate and result in a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
(ii) Glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form one molecule of pyruvic acid.
(iii) Glucose is phosphorylated to give rise to glucose - 6 - phosphate by the activity of the enzyme phosphofructokinase.
(iv) The scheme of glycolysis was given by Gustav Embden, Otto Morrison, and J. Parnas and is often referred to as the EMP pathway.
(v) ATP is utilized at two steps: first in the conversion of glucose into glucose 6- phosphate & second in the conversion of fructose - 6- phosphate to fructose 1, 6-diphosphate.
(a) (i), (iv) and (v)
(b) (iii) and (v)
(c) (iv) and (v)
(d) (ii) and (iv)
(a) (i), (iv) and (v)
Explanation:
Glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid, Glucose is phosphorylated to give rise to glucose-6- phosphate by the activity of the enzyme hexokinase. The scheme of glycolysis was given by Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, and J. Parnas, and is often referred to as the EMP pathway.
