Question:
Which of the following enzymes is responsible for converting glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate in glycolysis?
Which of the following enzymes is responsible for converting glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate in glycolysis?
Show Hint
Phosphoglucose isomerase is the key enzyme for converting glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate.
Updated On: Jun 18, 2025
- Hexokinase
- Phosphoglucose isomerase
- Aldolase
- Phosphofructokinase-1
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Phosphoglucose isomerase is the enzyme responsible for converting glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate in glycolysis. Hexokinase is involved in the phosphorylation of glucose, aldolase catalyzes the cleavage of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, and phosphofructokinase-1 is involved in another key step in glycolysis, not this conversion.
