Hexokinase is used in:
Correct answer: B. Glycolysis
- A. Calvin Cycle
- B. Glycolysis
- C. Kreb's Cycle
- D. None of these
Explanation
Hexokinase is an enzyme used in the phosphorylation of glucose during the first step of glycolysis. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. The reaction involves the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to glucose, resulting in the formation of glucose-6-phosphate.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
