NEET Botany Glycolysis Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): Glucose-6-phosphate is isomerised to fructose-6-phosphate during glycolysis.
Reason (R): The enzyme hexokinase is responsible for converting glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
