Solution

The correct option is A Hexokinase
Glucose is a 6 carbon organic substrate that undergoes glycolysis for the release of energy during cellular respiration. Glucose is first phosphorylated to glucose 6-phosphate by an enzyme called 'Hexokinase' in the presence of Mg2+. So, the answer is 'Hexokinase'.
