Question

Select the true statement(s) from the list below. Metabolic flux will increase only when enzyme activity is high. Glucose catabolism results in the formation of glycogen Decreasing the availability of the first substrate in a metabolic pathway will decrease the rest of the metabolites in the pathway. Glucose is converted to pyruvate via the glycolysis pathway. Regulation of a linear metabolic pathway is likely to occur at the first step in the pathway, to prevent wasting energy on enzymatic reactions of later steps if the final product of the last reaction is not needed. Glucose, glycogen and glucagon are all carbohydrates that are involved in energy storage and metabolism.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

3. (d) Glucose is converted to pyruvate via the glycolysis pathway.

Glycolysis is the process which results in the conversion of glucose to pyruvate. Glycolysis is the metabolic process that serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.

The rest of the statements are false because either the fact mentioned is incorrect or has exceptions to it.
