The first energy-generating steps in glycolysis begin when glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate undergoes an energetically favorable reaction in which it is simultaneously oxidized and phosphorylated by the enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase to

form 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, with the accompanying conversion of NAD+ to NADH. In a second energetically favorable reaction catalyzed by a second enzyme, the 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is then converted to 3-phosphoglycerate, with the accompanying conversion of ADP to ATP. Which of the following statements is true about this reaction? (a) The reaction glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate -> 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate should be inhibited when levels of NADH fall. (b) The ?G° for the oxidation of the aldehyde group on glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to form a carboxylic acid is more negative than the ?G° for ATP hydrolysis. (c) The energy stored in the phosphate bond of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate contributes to driving the reaction forward. (d) The cysteine side chain on the enzyme is oxidized by NAD+.
