Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because .

Present in both catabolic and anabolic pathways

Explanation:

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate abbreviated as G3P occurs as intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

In photosynthesis, it is produced by the light independent reaction and acts as carrier for returning ADP, phosphate ions Pi, and NADP+  to the light independent pathway. Photosynthesis is a anbolic pathway.

In glycolysis, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is produced by breakdown of fructose-1,6 -bisphosphate. Further Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate converted to pyruvate and pyruvate is further used in citric acid cycle for energy production. Therefore, it is used in catabolic pathway too.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because it is  present in both catabolic and anabolic pathways.

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.
