Glycolysis involves a series of phosphorylation, dephosphorylation and oxidation reactions.

Explanation:

Glycolysis, as the name implies is the splitting of glucose. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. When a glucose molecule is split by glycolysis, the following are produced:

2 ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) molecules;

2 NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Hydrogen);

2 pyruvate molecules and ;

2 water molecules.

The glycolytic pathway is a ten-step reaction, the first five reactions are the preparatory reaction (2 ATP molecules are used up in these reactions) while the remaining five are the pay-off reaction (4 ATP molecules are generated).

Reaction 1: Glucose is phosphorylated (addition of phosphate group) by the enzyme hexokinase to produce glucose 6-phosphate.

Reaction 2: Glucose 6-phosphate undergoes an isomerization reaction by the action of the enzyme phosphoglucomutase to produce fructose 6-phosphate.

Reaction 3: Fructose 6-phosphate is acted upon by a kinase enzyme phosphofructokinase which adds phosphate group from an ATP molecule to produce fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.

Reaction 4: The enzyme aldolase splits fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into isomers (an aldehyde and a ketone), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, and dihydroxyacetone phosphate respectively.

Reaction 5: The enzyme triose phosphate converts dihydroxyacetone phosphate into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. This implies that there are two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate which will serve as the substrate for the pay-off reactions.

Reaction 6: The enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase oxidizes glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and adds a phosphate group to the oxidized glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to produce 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

Reaction 7:  The enzyme phosphoglyceromutase undergoes a dephosphorylation reaction to convert the 2 molecules of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate

Reaction 8: The 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate undergoes isomerization reaction by the action of the enzyme phosphoglyceromutase to produce  2 molecules of 2-phosphoglycerate.

Reaction 9: Each of the 2-phosphoglycerate molecules undergo hydrolysis (removal of a water molecule) to produce 2 molecules of phosphoenolpyruvate.

Reaction 10: The enzyme pyruvate kinase removes a phosphate group from each of the phosphoenolpyruvate molecules and adds it to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) molecules to produce 2 ATP molecules and 2 pyruvate molecules.

answer: c. two haploid cells

explanation:

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.
