Mature erythrocytes taken from a patient with chronic anemia are placed in an isotonic, glucose-containing solution. The cells are observed to swell, then rupture. The erythrocytes actively uptake glucose. The addition of ATP to the solution prevents this phenomenon. If this is due to an autosomal recessive glycolytic enzyme deficiency, which enzyme is missing?
A. Phosphofructokinase-1
B. Glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase
C. Glucokinase
D. Pyruvate kinase
E. Hexokinase
