Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Phosphorylation on glucose will activate the glucose molecule.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The statement regarding glycolysis which is true is oxygen is not required. In the process of glycolysis, oxygen is not required because it is an anaerobic process that is independent of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose gets phosphorylated by hexokinase, forming glucose-6-phosphate. This step requires one molecule of ATP. Glucose-6-phosphate is isomerized by phosphoglucose isomerase to form fructose-6-phosphate. Fructose-6-phosphate is phosphorylated by phosphofructokinase to form fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate.
