Answer:

Free Ribosomes

Explanation:

This is produced by the free ribosomes in the Cystosol ( thst is bounded by membrane,not attached to the endoplasmic reticulum), They are concerned with the synthesis of proteins to be used within the cystosol that is not to be exported out of the cells.

Hexokinase produced is important in glycolysis because it phosphorylated glucose to glucose -6-phosphate, increases its polarity thus reduced the metabolic process within the cell preventing glucose from leaving the cell( due to increase polarity which is restricted by the cell ,membrane.) thereby increasing the efficiency of process of Glycolysis.
