Question

refer to the diagram to answer the question
which of these statements describes how organisms could use molecules of glucose?
i. several glucose molecules could be assembled into a larger molecule.
ii. glucose molecules could be broken apart to form smaller molecules.
iii. the atoms of glucose molecules could be combined with other elements to form a different molecule.

Explanation:

• Statement I: Glucose molecules can be assembled into larger molecules like starch (in plants) or glycogen (in animals) through processes like dehydration synthesis.
• Statement II: Glucose can be broken down (e.g., in glycolysis) to form smaller molecules like pyruvate, releasing energy in the process.
• Statement III: The atoms of glucose (C, H, O) can combine with other elements (e.g., N in amino - glucose formation) to form different molecules.

Answer:

I, II, and III.
