Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(a) : Glucose-6-phosphate changes into its isomer fructose-6-phosphate with the help of enzyme phosphohexose isomerase. Fructose-6-phosphate is phosphorylated to fructose-1,6bisphosphate in the presence of phosphofructokinase and $\mathrm{Mg}^{+2}$. Further this fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is splits into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate by the enzyme aldolase.
