The reactions where glucose is converted to glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate is converted to fructose 1,5-bisphosphate are examples of:
A) exergonic reactions
B) priming reactions
C) phosphorylation reactions
D) kinase reactions
E) all of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These reactions involve the transfer of a phosphate group to glucose or fructose, making them phosphorylation reactions. They are also priming steps in glycolysis, requiring the input of energy, thus are considered exergonic. Kinase enzymes catalyze these phosphorylation steps, so all the options provided are correct descriptions of these reactions.
