Question

A flavin-containing enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of this molecule to produce hydrogen peroxide and a delta-lactone. The rate-limiting step in the synthesis of this molecule is blocked by FBPase (“F-B-P-ace”) inhibitors. The first cotransporter protein to be discovered imports both sodium ions and this molecule into intestinal (10[1])epithelial cells. A radioactive analog of this molecule (10[1])with fluorine-18 (10[1])can reveal tumors on a PET scan as a result (10[1]-5[1])of the Warburg effect. Branching enzyme (10[1])transfers seven units of this monomeric molecule at a time to create alpha-1,6 linkages (10[1])within a polymer of it. Hexokinase attaches a phosphate to this molecule in the first step of a pathway with ■END■

ANSWER: glucose [accept dextrose or D-glucose; accept glucose oxidase; accept fluorodeoxyglucose or FDG; accept glucosyl group or glycosyl group; prompt on C6H12O6 or hexose or sugars or carbohydrates or monosaccharides; reject "glycogen"]
