Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:Assertion A: ATP is used at two steps in glycolysis.Reason R: First ATP is used in converting glucose into glucose-6-phosphate and second ATP is used in conversion of fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6-diphosphate.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer:

  1. A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. B
    Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
  3. C
    A is true but R is not false
  4. D
    A is not false but R is true

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Assertion A is correct: Glycolysis has a preparatory phase where energy is "invested" by using two molecules of ATP.Reason R is correct: The two steps are the phosphorylation of glucose by hexokinase and the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate by phosphofructokinase.Since R identifies the specific steps mentioned in A, R is the correct explanation.
