The majority of glucose catabolism occurs via the:
A) Hexose monophosphate shunt
B) Embden-Meyerhof pathway
C) Luebering-Rapoport pathway
D) Synthesis of nucleotides

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Embden-Meyerhof pathway, also known as glycolysis, is the most common and well-known pathway for glucose catabolism. This pathway breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH. The hexose monophosphate shunt and Luebering-Rapoport pathway are alternative pathways for glucose catabolism, but they are not the primary pathway. Synthesis of nucleotides is not a pathway for glucose catabolism.
