Hexokinase is an enzyme that is involved with glycolysis (the breakdown of glucose for energy release) that occurs in the cytoplasm. What cellular structure makes hexokinase? Group of answer choices mitochondria free ribosomes the rough endoplasmic reticulum the smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Respuesta :

Answer:

free ribosomes

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins and proteins are synthesized on ribosomes. Ribosomes may be present free in the cytosol or are studded on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The proteins synthesized on the free ribosomes mostly remain within the cell. Therefore, the cytosolic proteins such as the enzymes involved in glycolysis are synthesized on free ribosomes. Therefore, hexokinase is also synthesized on free ribosomes. The ribosomes present on the rough ER form the membrane proteins, proteins of specific organelles such as lysosomes and the secretory proteins.
