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?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given information describes a series of biochemical reactions that convert glucose into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, which is an example of a metabolic pathway. It involves the action of several enzymes, each converting the previous compound into a different one until the final product is formed. There is no mention of feedback inhibition, allosteric regulation, or enzyme inhibition, so choices A, B, and D are not applicable here.
