Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	oxidation
B	phosphorylation
C	reduction
D	chemiosmosis

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation for correct option: The enzyme Hexokinase is known to catalyze the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. It is an irreversible reaction and requires ATP. It is a part of glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI, EC 5.3. 1.9) catalyzes the interconversion of D-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) and D-fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) and plays important roles in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) is changed into fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) by phosphoglucoisomerase (phosphoglucose isomerase) in the second step. This reaction also requires Mg2+. F6P can enter the glycolytic pathway from the next point. This reaction has a low free energy charge.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hexokinase converts glucose to glucose 6-phosphate, trapping the glucose molecule inside the cell, thus starting off the process of glycolysis.
