The step of glycolysis that involves removal of high energy phosphate by two ADP molecules to get two ATP molecules and two 3PGA molecules is:
Correct answer: D. Step - 7
- A. Step - 4
- B. Step - 6
- C. Step - 5
- D. Step - 7
Explanation
In step no. 7 of glycolysis, two molecules of 1, 3 bisphosphoglycerate are dephosphorylated, two molecules of ADP are phosphorylated to get two ATPs and as a result two molecules of 3PGA are formed.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
