Question

All the enzymes required for the process of glycolysis are incubated in a cell extract along
with (32P) ATP and an unlabelled inorganic phosphate group. If pyruvate kinase is
inactivated, which of the following compounds will contain 32P?
P. Glucose-6-32Phosphate
Q. (1-phospho-6-32 phospho)-fructose bisphosphate
R. (1-phospho-3-32 phospho)-bisphosphoglycerate
S. (3-32P)-phosphoglycerate
a. Only P
b. Only S
c. P and S
d. P, R, and S​

Answer 1

Answer:

Phosphoglycerate

Explanation:

Phosphoglycerate labeled uniformly with 14C is incubated with 1,3-BPG labeled with 32P at C-1 Phosphofructokinase, a key control enzyme, is bypassed. ... After all, the cell would save much energy because it would no longer need to synthesize
