An enzyme that attaches a phosphate group to another molecule is called:
Correct answer: C. Kinase
- A. Phosphatase
- B. Phosphorylase
- C. Kinase
- D. ATPase
Explanation
An enzyme that attaches a phosphate group to another molecule is called a kinase. Kinases are a large group of enzymes that play crucial roles in cell signaling, cell cycle regulation, metabolism, and many other cellular processes. They transfer phosphate groups from ATP to specific target molecules, often proteins, through a process known as phosphorylation.
