In glycolysis, glucose receives two phosphate groups from ____, thus forming fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.

A) ADP
B) ATP
C) G3P
D) a bisphosphate group
E) fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

An important sugar molecule involved in glycolysis, the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy.

Phosphate Groups

Chemical groups containing one phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms, important for energy transfer and storage in cells.

Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, generating ATP and NADH as energy sources for the cell, occurring in the cytoplasm of cells.
