In glycolysis, a phosphorylated sugar (fructose-1,6-bisphosphate) is split, forming two molecules of

A) ADP.
B) G3P.
C) glucose.
D) citric acid.
E) acetyl CoA.

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

A key sugar molecule that plays an important role in glycolysis, the process of breaking down glucose for energy.

G3P

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a three-carbon molecule that is an intermediate product in photosynthesis and glycolysis.

Glycolysis

A metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy and producing ATP, occurring in the cytosol of the cell.

  • Illustrate the process and end results of glycolysis, specifying the elements involved and the energy produced.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Glycolysis involves the splitting of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into two molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), which is a key step in the pathway.
