Assertion (A): | ATP acts as the energy currency of the cell. |
Reason (R): | ATP is a ribonucleoside triphosphate. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
1. | fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate is split into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL) |
2. | 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGAL) is converted to 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPGA) |
3. | BPGA is converted to 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA) |
4. | PEP is converted to pyruvic acid |
1. | undergoes oxidative decarboxylation in cytosol itself by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic kinase. |
2. | undergoes reduction in cytosol itself by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase. |
3. | undergoes oxidative decarboxylation in mitochondrial matrix by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase. |
4. | undergoes oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondrial matrix by a complex set of reactions catalysed by pyruvic decarboxylase. |
