Glucose is Usually Broken Down To

Question

Glucose is usually broken down to
A) make carbon dioxide.
B) provide energy (ATP) for the working cells.
C) use up urea.
D) make glycogen.

Accepted Answer

Glucose is broken down via cellular respiration to produce ATP, which provides energy for the functioning of cells. Option A is incorrect because carbon dioxide is one of the by-products of cellular respiration, not the main product. Option C is incorrect because urea is a waste product of protein metabolism and has no connection to glucose breakdown. Option D is incorrect because glycogen is actually synthesized from glucose molecules and stored in the liver and muscles for later use.
