Why is it necessary to phosphorylate a glucose molecule, creating glucose-6-phosphate? why is it necessary to phosphorylate a gl

ucose molecule, creating glucose-6-phosphate? to trap the glucose molecule within the cell to allow the glucose molecule to easily pass out of the cell to allow easy passage of the glucose molecule into the mitochondria to create a storage form of glucose that the cell can then hang onto?

It is necessary to phosphorylate a glucose molecule so as to trap glucose inside the cell, to make ATP, and to facilitate enzyme building. When insulin is released from the pancreas after a meal, it signals the tissues to uptake glucose. When glucose enters the cells via glucose transporters, there is a chance for them to leave the cell. If the body is in need of energy, and the breakdown of glucose will provide that energy, the body does not want the glucose to leave the cell and that is why the glucose is phosphorylated by ATP to become glucose-6-phosphate, which now bears a charge.

Kamila [148]
The independent variable is the variable that is being changed in an experiment. It is also called the manipulated variable. In this case, it would be the amount of sunlight. The dependent variable would be the variable that is being studied. In this case it would be the length of sleep of the mice. The constants would be the variable that are supposed to have an effect on the dependent variable however it is held constant so as to clearly see the effect of the independent variable.
