Question

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(c) : During glycolysis, glucose is phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate by ATP in the presence of enzyme hexokinase or glucokinase and $\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$ as follows: $$ 	ext { Glucose }+ 	ext { ATP } \xrightarrow[\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}]{	ext { Hexokinase }} 	ext { Glucose-6-phosphate + ADP } $$
