Which of the following is not correct for hexokinase?

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): ATP is used at two steps in glycolysis.
Reason (R): First ATP is used in converting glucose into glucose-6-phosphate and second ATP is used in conversion of Fructose-6-phosphate to Fructose-1,6-diphosphate.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Are pyruvic acid and pyruvate same compound?

What is EMP pathway?

Arrange the following substances in a sequence that are formed in the EMP pathway, due to the transfer of a group between a pair of substrates with the activity of enzymes.
A) Fructose 1,6 - bisphosphate
B) Fructose - 6 - phosphate
C) Glucose - 6 phosphate
D) Phosphoenol pyruvate
E) 3 - Phosphoglyceric acid
The correct answer is:

Assertion (A): Under anaerobic and aerobic conditions lactic acid and pyruvic acid formed respectively in skeletal muscle whereas in yeast during fermentation ethanol is formed.
Reason(R): Metabolic pathways give a variety of products based on conditions.
The correct option among the following is:
