Glucose transported into the muscle is quickly trapped inside the muscle via phosphorylation. In this process, to which compound is glucose converted? 2. Which enzyme phosphorylates a phosphorylated fructose? 3. Lack of sufficient cytosolic NAD+ causes which glycolytic enzyme, and thus the glycolytic pathway, to stop functioning?

3. Lack of sufficient cytosolic NAD+ causes which glycolytic enzyme, and thus the glycolytic pathway, to stop functioning?
1. Glucose transported into the muscle is quickly trapped inside the muscle via phosphorylation. In this process, glucose is converted to the compound glucose-6-phosphate. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme glucokinase/hexokinase. This enzyme phosphorylates the 6th carbon atom of glucose.
2. The enzyme phosphorylates phosphorylated fructose is phosphofructokinase. This enzyme converts fructose-6-phosphate (phosphorylated fructose) to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.
