Verified step by step guidance

Understand that glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy and forming ATP and NADH.

Recognize that the process of glycolysis involves several steps where glucose is phosphorylated and split into two three-carbon molecules.

Identify that glucose, a six-carbon molecule, is initially phosphorylated to form glucose-6-phosphate and then isomerized to fructose-6-phosphate.

Note that fructose-6-phosphate is further phosphorylated to form fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which is a key step in glycolysis and involves the addition of a second phosphate group, increasing its energy content.

Conclude that fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, having two phosphate groups, possesses more chemical energy compared to the other molecules listed, as it is a higher-energy intermediate in the glycolytic pathway.
