Through photosynthesis, plants produce glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), a phosphated 3-carbon sugar that is used by the cell to make monosaccharides such as glucose ( Cmain Hmain Omain ) or (as in cane and beet) sucrose ( Cmain Hmain Omain ). (38 words)
The two stereoisomers are identified with the prefixes D - and L -, according to the sense of rotation: D -glyceraldehyde is dextrorotatory (rotates the polarization axis clockwise), while L -glyceraldehyde is levorotatory (rotates it counterclockwise). (34 words)
In the second regulated step (the third step of glycolysis), phosphofructokinase converts fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which then is converted into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. (31 words)

Chirality nomenclature Like many chiral molecules, the two stereoisomers of glyceraldehyde will gradually rotate the polarization direction of linearly polarized light as it passes through it, even in solution.
