However, at this point, the 2 ____________ molecules are reduced, freeing NAD⁺ to return to the glycolytic pathway.

Question

During this process, glycolysis proceeds as normal with glucose splitting into 2 ____________ molecules, which are then phosphorylated into 2 BPG molecules, and finally converted into 2 ____________ molecules.

Answer 1

Must say this is a terrible question, because first of all, we don't know if this is aerobic or anaerobic, and 2nd of all, the first blank can be filled in with either glyceraldehyde phosphate or dihydroxyacetone phosphate, as they are isomers in equilibrium.  I guess the answer to the NAD+ part is the same for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration (pyruvate) but the mechanism is different.

 

During this process, glycolysis proceeds as normal with glucose splitting into 2 __GLYCERALDEHYDE PHOSPHATE__________ molecules, which are then phosphorylated into 2 BPG molecules, and finally converted into 2 _____PYRUVATE_______ molecules.  At this point, the 2 PYRUVATE molecues are reduced.... (assuming anaerobic respiration).
