Answer: The statement is TRUE

Explanation:

HEXOKINASE is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose‑6‑phosphate in glycolysis. The main function of glucose is to provide energy for the tissues. The basic pathway through which energy is gotten from glucose is through GLYCOLYSIS. The glycolytic pathway is made up of enzyme catalyzed reactions that leads to the conversion of glucose to pyruvate in the presence of oxygen or lactate in the absence of oxygen.

The first step in glycolysis is catalyzed by HEXOKINASE, an enzyme with broad specificity that catalyzes the phosphorylation of six-carbon sugars. Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose using ATP as the source of the phosphate, producing glucose-6-phosphate, a more reactive form of glucose.

Therefore the above statement is TRUE.
