Answer:

The correct answer is C glucokinase is not a zymogen

Step-by-step explanation:

zymogens are secreted as inactive enzyme which undergo activation by autocatalysis which deals with the removal of short peptide fragment from that zymogen resulting in the formation of active enzyme.

Foe example chymotrypsin enzyme is secreted as zymogens but not glucokinase.
