Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate and is observed in each of the three domains. The hexokinase family of enzymes is required during glycolysis to phosphorylate six-carbon sugars. Researchers designed a general hexokinase inhibitor that is effective in the neurons of rats. True / False.

    Answer: True

    Explanation:

    Glycol = sugar

    Lysis = break

    Glycolysis is the first of the three stages of cellular respiration.

    In this step, 6-carbon glucose is broken apart into two 3-carbon molecules called pyruvate.

    Now this occurs in three stages

    • The first stage being that in which the conversion of glucose into fructose 1, 6 - bisphosphate, consists of three steps: a phosphorylation, an isomerization, and a second phosphorylation reaction.

    In glycolysis, hexokinase is an enzyme whose substrate is glucose and its most important by-product is glucose 6-phosphate.

    This enzyme involves in phosphorylation of a six-carbon sugar, a hexose, to make a hexose phosphate in glycolysis.
