NEET Questions / Botany / Respiration in Plants / Glycolysis
In the liver, the enzyme primarily responsible for converting glucose to glucose-6-phosphate is:
Glucokinase
Hexokinase
Phosphofructokinase-1
Pyruvate kinase
The first committed step in glycolysis involves the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. This reaction prevents glucose from:
Leaving the cell
Entering the mitochondria
Being stored as glycogen
Being converted to fructose
