Glycerol phosphate is important in reoxidizing NAD+ in this process, which removes a hydrogen and 2 electrons after the defining step, a reverse aldol condensation, where Fructose 1,6-diphosphate becomes Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
Alzheimer's diseases sees an increase of tau protein that disrupts the functioning of this process, whose first step is catalyzed by Hexokinase. Glycerol phosphate is important in reoxidizing NAD+ in this process, which removes a hydrogen and 2 electrons after the defining step, a reverse aldol condensation, where Fructose 1,6-diphosphate becomes Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. For 10 points, name this first step in cellular respiration which yields 6 molecules of ATP and results in the splitting of a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid and literally means "splitting sugars."
