What is the rate limiting step of glycolysis?
Important Questions on Metabolism, Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis (AHL)




(A) Glycolysis has chain reactions.
(B) In glycolysis, ATP is utilised in one step.
(C) There is one step related to the formation of .
(D) Glycolysis can take place in the mitochondria matrix also.

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): ATP is used at two steps in glycolysis.
Reason (R): First ATP is used in converting glucose into glucose-6-phosphate and second ATP is used in conversion of Fructose-6-phosphate to Fructose-1,6-diphosphate.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:



List-I | List-II | ||
A | Phosphoenol pyruvate | I | Hexokinase |
B | Pyruvic acid | II | Enolase |
C | Triosephosphate | III | Pyruvic kinase |
D | Glucose-—phosphate | IV | Aldolase |
The correct match is:


Which ONE of the following statements is INCORRECT about the hexokinase-catalysed reaction given below?
Glucose ATP Glucose--phosphate+ADP

Assertion (A) :- The pathway from glucose to lactic acid occurs in metabolic steps. Organisms will trap this energy and store in the form of chemical molecules.
Reason (R) :- Glucose is the only substrate for the production of energy.
The correct option among the following is:

Respective products released along with main product in biochemical reactions catalysed by given enzymes
A) Glutamine synthetase I) NADH + H+
B) Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase II) ADP + Pi
C) Hexokinase III) Inorganic phosphate
D) Malate dehydrogenase IV) ADP

i. Formation of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
ii. Dehydrogenation
iii. Cleavage to form triose-3-phosphate
iv. Second substrate-level phosphorylation
v. Dehydration


i. Formation of fructose-bis-phosphate
ii. Dehydrogenation
iii. Cleavage
iv. Second substrate level phosphorylation
v. Dehydration


The reactions of Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) take place in


Reason : In this process, there is net gain of twenty four molecules of ATP.
