Answer 1

7

Explanation:

 

During glycolysis, seven three carbon molecules are formed:

• Phosphate of dihydroxyacetone (DHAP)
• 3-Phosphoglyceraldehyde is a kind of phosphoglyceraldehyde (3-PGAL)
• (1,3)Diphosphoglyceric acid (1, 3-diPGA)
• (3)Phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA)
• 2-Phosphoglyceric acid is a kind of phosphoglyceric acid (2- PGA)
• Phosphoenolpyruvic acid is a kind of phosphoenolpyruvic acid (PEPA)
