The breakdown of glucose, the incomplete oxidation of fatty acids, and the breakdown of nucleic acids have what in common?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These processes all involve the release of hydrogen ions as part of their chemical reactions. In the breakdown of glucose (glycolysis and cellular respiration), incomplete oxidation of fatty acids, and the breakdown of nucleic acids, hydrogen ions are released as part of the process of breaking down these molecules for energy or other cellular needs.
