During a reaction catalyzed by hexokinase, the binding of glucose induces a conformational change that places the ATP molecule optimally for phosphate transfer. This illustrates the

A. Lock and Key model
B. Induced Fit model
✓
C. Competitive inhibition mechanism
D. Allosteric activation mechanism

📝 Explanation

The induced fit model is exemplified by conformational changes in hexokinase upon glucose binding, which correctly orient ATP for catalysis.
