During the second reaction of glycolysis, the carbonyl group is moved from carbon 1 to carbon 2 forming the ketose fructose-6-phosphate. This is a necessary step in glycolysis because, this is an energetically favorable reaction that drives the first step in glycolysis forward the carbonyl in this position stabilizes the subsequent formation of the enediol intermediate O the position of the carbonyl will determine the cleavage point in the reverse aldol condensation two steps later O this allows transfer of une phosphate group from fructose to ADP to form ATP in the next step
