Could fructose be respired more quickly than glucose in yeast doing anaerobic respiration?
The first step of Respiration, i.e. Glycolysis is same for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The first few steps of Glycolysis are Glucose:- Glucose-6-phosphate:- Fructose-6-phosphate. Alternative pathway(if Fructose is available) Fructose:- Fructose-6-phosphate. Glucose is more readily available in an organism than Fructose. But as this processes are carried out in a very short time by enzymes, absence of a single step will not make much a difference.
