In glycolytic pathway which of the following steps shows reduction of co-enzyme ?

Updated On: Jun 18, 2022
  • 11, 33-diphosphoglycerate to 33-phosphoglycerate
  • Glucose 66-phosphate to fructose 66-phosphate
  • Glyceraldehyde 33-phosphate to 11, 33-diphospho glycerate
  • 33-phosphoglycerate to 22-phosphoglycerate

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

During glycolysis in the presence of enzyme glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde 33-phosphate loses hydrogen to NADNAD to form NADH2NADH_2 and accepts inorganic phosphate to form 11, 33-diphosphoglycerate.

Respiration in Plants

Respiration in plants is a process that entails the production of energy in plants. This process can simply be described as the intake of Oxygen and the release of Carbon Dioxide as an outcome of the oxidation of complex organic compounds. Though plants do not have any specific organ to balance the process of respiration, their stems, roots, and leaves do this work at a very low rate than other living beings. The process of respiration is very crucial for the plants to sustain the growth of the plant tissues.

This process can be stated as-

C6H12O6+6O26CO2+6H2O+EnergyC_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 → 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{Energy}
