Answer #1

Ans) the two steps in glycolysis where exidation reactions occur is :-

The step of glyceraldehyde - 3- phosphate which is oxidised and phosphorylated to form 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate and this reaction is catalysed by the enzyme glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase. Here the NAD+ is reduced to NADH and H+ releasing energy

NADH is the energy storing compound here.

Another step where oxidation occurs is in the end of glycolysis. Under anaerobic Conditions

Pyruvate is converted to lactate catalysed by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. Here NADH is oxidised to NAD +

Energy storage molecule in NAD.

Hope this helps, if it does please give it a positive rating, thank you
