Biochemistry WGU - C624: Module 4: The Case of the Thirsty Woman / 2. Check Your Understanding: Carbohydrate Metabolism. Questions & Answers, Rated A+. Glucose is a monosaccharide. It can be used as the raw material to build which one of the following molecules? - -d. Glycogen The correct answer is Glycogen. Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up glucose units. Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose to pyruvate. Is this a catabolic process or an anabolic process? - -a. Catabolic Catabolic pathways refer to the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones and often produce ATP as a result. Glycolysis is a catabolic process. During glycolysis, a molecule of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate and two molecules of ATP are made in the process. Which of the following is an accurate statement about glycolysis? - -a. The final products of glycolysis are two molecules of pyruvate. A six-carbon molecule of glucose breaks down to produce two three-carbon molecules known as pyruvate. There is a net gain of two ATP molecules per the breakdown a single glucose molecule. Glycolysis final products are two molecules of pyruvate. True or False: Glucose is the only food source that can make acetyl Co-A. - -a. Fals
