Question

In EM pathway -2-phosphoglycerate is converted to (A) phospho enol pyruvate (B) Enol pyruvate (C) Di hydroxy acetone phosphate (DHAP) (D) 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate

Answer 1

Given: EMP pathway

To find:

In EMP pathway 2- phosphoglycerate is converted into which molecule?

In EMP pathway 2- phosphoglycerate is converted to phospho enol pyruvate.

    EMP pathway is another name of glycolysis in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. 2- phosphoglycerate is converted into phospho enol pyruvate in the ninth step of glycolysis.This reaction is catalyzed by enolase enzyme.

Therefore, 2 - phosphoglycerate is converted into phospho enol pyruvate in EMP pathway.
