Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a specific molecule
A
kinase
B
phosphorylation
C
negative feedback
D
positive feedback
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In biochemistry, a kinase (/ˈkaɪneɪs, ˈkɪneɪs, -eɪz/) is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of phosphate groups from high-energy, phosphate-donating molecules to specific substrates. This process is known as phosphorylation, where the high-energy ATP molecule donates a phosphate group to the substrate molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -(KY-nays) A type of enzyme (a protein that speeds up chemical reactions in the body) that adds chemicals called phosphates to other molecules, such as sugars or proteins. This may cause other molecules in the cell to become either active or inactive. Kinases are a part of many cell processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a group of atoms, such as amine, carboxyl, carbonyl, methyl, acyl, glycosyl, and phosphoryl from a donor substrate to an acceptor compound.
