Answer
Glycerol Kinase and Glycerol-3-Phosphate dehydrogenase on glycerol produces Dihydroxyacetone phosphate(DHAP). DHAP is converted to Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate which is an intermediate of glycolytic pathway
Work Step by Step
When Glycerol Kinase acts on Glycerol, Glycerol-3-Phosphate is produced.
Further, FADH dependent Glycerol-3-Phosphate dehydrogenase(G3PDH)(enzyme present in membrane) acts on Glycerol-3-Phosphate to give Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP).
DHAP formed is then converted to glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate which enters the glycolytic pathway
Note: Cytosolic Glycerol-3-Phosphate dehydrogenase is NADH dependent and it acts on Glycerol-3-Phosphate to give DHAP
