Q. In which of the following reactions of glycolysis, a molecule of water is removed from the substrate?
A) Fructose-6-phosphate $\rightarrow$ Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate
B) 3-phosphate-glyceraldehyde $\rightarrow$ 1, 3 bisphosphoglyceric acid
C) PEP $\rightarrow$ Pyruvic acid
D) 2- phosphoglycerate $\rightarrow$ PEP
Explanation
In glycolysis, water molecule is removed during conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenol pyruvate. Conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose 1-6 biphosphate is characterized by phosphorylation.
