Answer 1

Answer:

Option: (c) 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate

Explanation:

What is Redox reaction?

• Redox is made up of two terms, Reduction and Oxidation.
• It is a type of chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously.
• Oxidizing and reducing species can be different or same.
• Oxidation means loss of electrons or increase in oxidation state.
• Reduction means gain of electrons or decrease in oxidation state.

What makes this reaction redox?

• Transfer of electrons from Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to NAD⁺ which oxidizes Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate.
• In this step, inorganic phosphate is reduced and transferred to Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
• This step of glycolysis is catalyzed by Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

So, both oxidation and reaction, which means this reaction of glycolysis is redox reaction.
