Question

In glycolysis, what starts the process of glucose oxidation? a) ATP b) ADP c) hexokinase d)FADH2 e) NADPH.

Answer 1

ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in glycolysis is catalyzed by hexokinase, an enzyme with broad specificity that catalyzes the phosphorylation of six-carbon sugars. Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose using ATP as the source of the phosphate, producing glucose-6-phosphate, a more reactive form of glucose.
