The enzyme hexokinase catalyzes the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, which is an important step in glycolysis. the reaction involves the transfer of a phosphate group from atp to glucose. either a glucose molecule or a water molecule can fit in the active site of hexokinase. the presence of a water molecule in hexokinase’s active site would result in the hydrolysis of atp to adp instead of the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. which of the following statements best explain the reaction specificity of hexokinase? a. both glucose and water are polar molecules that form favorable interactions with charged and polar amino acid side chains in hexokinase’s active site. b. both glucose and water have oxygen atoms that can form covalent bonds with the phosphorus atoms of phosphate groups. c. glucose is an energy-rich organic molecule that can be broken down by glycolysis to produce atp, whereas water is an inorganic molecule. d. glucose has the right shape and charge to cause hexokinase to undergo a structural change needed for catalysis, whereas water does not.
