Glucose is converted into glucose 6-phosphate by hexokinase. Glucose 6-phosphate then serves as the substrate for the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase, which converts this reactant into fructose 6-phosphate. Fructose 6-phosphate serves as the substrate for phosphofructokinase, which converts fructose 6-phosphate into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. Based on the information provided, this is an example of what?

A metabolic pathway

Explanation:

Biologically, a metabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions in which the end product of a reaction serves as a substrate (or reagent) for the reaction thereafter, the reactions being interdependent with one another. These reactions are catalyzed by enzymes. The metabolic pathways are fundamental for the maintenance of the cell and consequently of the body's homeostasis.

An example of the metabolic pathway can be seen in the above question where glucose is converted to glucose 6-phosphate by hexokinase. Glucose 6-phosphate then serves as a substrate for the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase, which converts this reagent to fructose 6-phosphate. Fructose 6-phosphate serves as a substrate for phosphofructokinase, which converts fructose 6-phosphate into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
