What is the fate of glucose in the respiratory pathway?
What is the fate of glucose in the respiratory pathway?
- It is directly respired without any conversion.
- It does not enter the respiratory pathway at all.
- It enters the respiratory pathway after being broken down into glycerol and fatty acids.
- It is usually first converted into glucose before being used for respiration. (correct)
