The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the classes of enzymes that catalyze the given reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the First Reaction:** - The first reaction is the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. - This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme **hexokinase**. 2. **Determine the Class of the First Enzyme:** - Hexokinase is responsible for transferring a phosphate group to glucose. - Enzymes that transfer functional groups (like phosphate groups) belong to the class of **transferases**. 3. **Identify the Second Reaction:** - The second reaction is the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. - This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme **glucose-6-phosphate isomerase**. 4. **Determine the Class of the Second Enzyme:** - The enzyme glucose-6-phosphate isomerase rearranges the structure of glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. - Enzymes that catalyze the rearrangement of atoms within a molecule belong to the class of **isomerases**. 5. **Final Conclusion:** - Therefore, enzyme A (hexokinase) belongs to the class of **transferases** and enzyme B (glucose-6-phosphate isomerase) belongs to the class of **isomerases**. ### Final Answer: - Enzyme A belongs to the class of **transferases**. - Enzyme B belongs to the class of **isomerases**. ---
