Which of the ten reactions in glycolysis are isomerizations?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Isomerization's reactions are the one which converts a compound into its isomeric forms which have the same chemical composition; but differ in their structure.

Glycolysis is the pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. The process involves 10 reactions and some of the reactions are isomerizations reactions.
