Question

what is glycolysis? In which part of the cell, glycolysis takes place? Name the enzyme that converts sucrose into glucose and fructose?​

Answer 1

In eukaryotic cells, glycolysis takes place in the cytosol. This pathway can be thought of as comprising three stages (Figure 16.3). Stage 1, which is the conversion of glucose into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, consists of three steps: a phosphorylation, an isomerization, and a second phosphorylation reaction.
