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.
