Phosphorylation of glucose by hexokinase and phosphofructokinase is advantageous because: a phosphorylated sugar is more likely to diffuse into the environment outside the cell the reaction catalyzed by hexokinase produces ATP for the cell the sugar now has less activation energy all of these statements are correct glucose from outside the cell will continue to move into the cytoplasm of the cell

If the enzyme hexokinase catalyzes the reaction ATP + Glucose --> Glucose-6-Phosphate, then ___. hexokinase will also catalyze the reverse reaction resulting two products, ATP + Glucose hexokinase could also convert ATP + Glucose to Fructose once hexokinase binds ATP and Glucose it goes through a conformational change. hexokinase energizes ATP and Glucose to make them more reactive. the active site of hexokinase binds Glucose-6-Phosphate more tightly than ATP or Glucose

What is correct about glycolysis? In the hexokinase reaction, glucose is phosphorylated by receiving a phosphate from ATP. The enzyme triose phosphate isomerase converts 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate. The enzyme aldolase converts fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP). The molecule glucose 1,6-bisphosphate is cleaved to generate two 3-carbon molecules.

In glycolysis: a. $\quad$ free oxygen is required for the reactions to occur. b. ATP is used when glucose and fructose- 6 -phosphate are phosphorylated, and ATP is synthesized when 3-phosphoglycerate and pyruvate are formed. c. the enzymes that move phosphate groups on and off the molecules are uncoupling proteins. d. the product with the highest potential energy in the pathway is pyruvate. e. the end product of glycolysis moves to the electron transfer system.
