Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which enzyme catalyzes the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate in glycolysis?
  • Step 1: Understand that glycolysis is a process that breaks down glucose for energy.
  • Step 2: Identify that during glycolysis, glucose needs to be modified to be used effectively.
  • Step 3: Know that the modification involves adding a phosphate group to glucose.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this addition of a phosphate group is done by an enzyme.
  • Step 5: Learn that the specific enzyme responsible for this reaction is called hexokinase.
  • Step 6: Conclude that hexokinase converts glucose into glucose-6-phosphate.
