"Enzyme responsible for phosphorylation of glucose into glucose-6-phosphate is (b) Hexokinase.
Hexokinase, the first enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, is responsible for addition of phosphate group to glucose. This step consumes one molecule of ATP and produces one molecule of glucoe-6-phosphate.
Hexokinases are enzymes which phosphorylate six carbon sugars, that is, hexoses.
ATPases are enzymes which breakdown ATP molecules.
Dehyrogenases are those enzymes which remove hydrogen from certain molecules.
Oxidases are enzymes which remove oxygen from certain molecules.
