The enzyme, which forms glucose -6- phosphate, is:
Correct answer: C. Hexokinase
- A. Phosphorylase
- B. Phosphatase
- C. Hexokinase
- D. Gluco-synthetase
Explanation
Hexokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose or other hexoses (six-carbon sugars) to produce hexose phosphate. This phosphorylation is the first step in the process of glycolysis, a central pathway in cellular metabolism that involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.
