Question

How does galactose enter into glycolysis?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\blue{Answer}$

Galactose, which is metabolized from the milk sugar, lactose (a disaccharide of glucose and galactose), enters glycolysis by its conversion to glucose-1-phosphate (G1P). ... The first reaction of the Leloir pathway is the phosphorylation of α-D-galactose by galactokinase to yield galactose-1-phosphate.

Answer 2

Answer:

Fructose enters the glycolytic pathway in the liver through the fructose 1- phosphate pathway . There are no Catabolic pathway to metabolize galactose , so the strategy is to convert galactose into a metabolite of glucose . Galactose is converted into glucose 6- phosphate in four steps.
