question
the first enzyme in glycolysis _.
answer
isomerizes the 6 - carbon ring so it is a symmetrical molecule
transfers electrons from the carbon molecule to nad*
splits the 6 - carbon ring into two 3 - carbon rings
adds a phosphate from atp to the carbon ring
i dont know yet
Glycolysis begins with hexokinase (or glucokinase in the liver) which phosphorylates glucose. This phosphorylation uses a phosphate from ATP. The first step is the addition of a phosphate group from ATP to the glucose (a 6 - carbon molecule).
