what happens to the dhap produced in step 5 of glycolysis?
○ its phosphorylated
○ an isomerization reaction turns it into g3p.
○ it undergoes oxidation.
○ its turned into pyruvate.

Explanation:

In step 5 of glycolysis, dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) undergoes an isomerization reaction catalyzed by the enzyme triose - phosphate isomerase. This reaction converts DHAP into glyceraldehyde - 3 - phosphate (G3P). Phosphorylation of DHAP is not what happens at this step. Oxidation of DHAP does not occur directly at this step, and conversion to pyruvate happens later in the glycolytic pathway, not at step 5.

Answer:

B. An isomerization reaction turns it into G3P.
