Solution

The process that does NOT occur in glycolysis is Decarboxylation.

Here's why:

  1. Removal of water: This occurs in the step where 2-phosphoglycerate is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate.

  2. Phosphorylation of ADP: This happens twice in the glycolysis process. Once when 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is converted to 3-phosphoglycerate and again when phosphoenolpyruvate is converted to pyruvate.

  3. Reduction of NAD+: This occurs when glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is converted to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.

  4. Decarboxylation: This process does not occur in glycolysis. It is a part of the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle), where a molecule of carbon dioxide is removed from a carboxyl group. In glycolysis, the 6-carbon glucose molecule is split into two 3-carbon molecules, but no carbon dioxide is released in this process.
