Title: How does mannose enter the glycolytic pathway?
Post by: mikael on Apr 8, 2014
How does mannose enter the glycolytic pathway?
A) It is converted mannose 6-phosphate and then isomerized to fructose 6-phosphate which enters the pathway.
B) It can enter directly into the first step of glycolysis because hexokinase converts mannose to glucose 6-phosphate.
C) Mannose is first split into two trioses that are directly converted to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
D) Mannose is not metabolized via glycolysis.  It enters a separate pathway.
