Hexokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the very first reaction of glycolysis: the transfer of a phosphate group onto glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate (g6p). in the remaining reactions of glycolysis, g6p is converted into two molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (g3p) and then two molecules of pyruvate. a cell that has been treated with a drug that inhibits hexokinase activity would not be able to make any atp using which types of molecules?

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
