Harden and Young's ester is formed during glycolysis from Fructose-6-phosphate
Option (A)
Explanation:
The main common pathway for metabolism in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration is glycolysis.
In case of fructose metabolism the respiration starts due to the action of the enzyme fructokinase to form Fructose-6-phosphate. This can be hydrolysed in acidic medium resulting in the ester formation and is known as Harden and Young's ester.
This ester has a charecteristic fruity smell.
The enzyme fructokinase is present in the cytoplasm of the cell.
