question 73

Multiple Choice

Please select the FALSE statement regarding the central metabolic pathways.

• A) Glycolysis oxidizes glucose to pyruvate, yielding some ATP and NADH, and six different precursor metabolites.
• B) The pentose phosphate pathway oxidizes glucose, producing two different precursor metabolites and NADPH for biosynthesis.
• C) The transition step and TCA cycle complete the oxidation of glucose, yielding ATP, reducing power, and three different precursor metabolites.
• D) The transition step and TCA cycle are repeated four times to yield ATP, reducing power, and three different precursor metabolites.
• E) Two molecules of acetyl-CoA are generated for each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis, so the breakdown of one molecule of glucose causes the TCA cycle to turn twice.
