Phosphorylation of glucose during glycol...

Phosphorylation of glucose during glycolysis is catalysed by

A

phosphoglucomutase

B

phosphoglucoisomerase

C

hexokinase

D

phosphorylase

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Hexoakinase catalyses the conversion of glucose into glucose 6-phosphate by the use of ATP molecule in phosphorylation action
The other options are incorrect because
Phosphoglucomutas is an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group in D-glucose monomer form 1-to 6 position of carbon in ward diretion (changes glucose 1-phosphate to glucose-6 phosphate. )
Phosphogluciosomerase catalyses conversion of glucose 6 phosphate to fructose 6 phosphate.
Phosphorylase is an enzyme which catalyses the addition of phosphate `PO_(4)^(-)` grouo from inorganic phosphate to an acceptor
