In Most People,glucose Catabolism Occurs More Often Than Glucose Anabolism

Question

In most people,glucose catabolism occurs more often than glucose anabolism.

Accepted Answer

Glucose catabolism refers to the breakdown of glucose into smaller molecules, such as ATP, through processes like glycolysis and cellular respiration. Glucose anabolism or biosynthesis refers to the production of glucose from smaller molecules, such as in gluconeogenesis. While both processes occur in the body, glucose catabolism is much more common and necessary for energy production.
