Question

in phosphorylation, what is the name of the enzyme that transfers an inorganic phosphate from atp to glucose?

o polymerase
o kinase
o hexokinase
o phosphatase

Explanation:

Hexokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose by transferring a phosphate group from ATP to glucose. Polymerase is involved in nucleic - acid synthesis, kinase is a general term for enzymes that transfer phosphate groups but hexokinase is specific to glucose phosphorylation, and phosphatase removes phosphate groups.

Answer:

C. Hexokinase
