For each pair of biomolecules, identify the type of reaction (oxidation‑reduction, hydrolysis, isomerization, group transfer, or internal rearrangement) required to convert the first molecule to the second. In each case, indicate the general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) or reactants required, and any other products that would result. A(n) (hydrolysis, oxidation reduction, group transfer, isomerization, internal rearrangment) reaction converts glucose to fructose. This reaction is catalyzed by a(n) (dehydrogenase, isomerase, kinase, phosphatase).
