(3) Production of 30 ATP molecules accompanies the complete oxidation of a glucose molecule.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) Glycogenesis and glycolysis are indeed opposite processes, so this statement is TRUE.
2) While glucose is an important molecule in carbohydrate metabolism, it is not the only focal point, so this statement is FALSE.
3) A complete oxidation of glucose can produce up to 36 ATP molecules, not 30, so this statement is FALSE.

Therefore, only statement (1) is true and statements (2) and (3) are false, making choice B the correct answer.
