Phosphorylation of glucose during glycolysis is catalysed by

Options

A. phosphoglucomutase
B. phosphoglucoisomerase
C. hexokinase
D. phosphorylase

Answer

c

Explanation

During glycolysis, glycose is phosphorylated to glycose-6-phosphate by ATP in the presence of enzyme hexokinase or glucokinase and `MG^(2+)` as follows:
Glucose `+ ATP underset(Mg^(2+))overset("Hexokinase")(rarr)` Glucose-6-phosphate + ADP
