The main pathways of metabolism in brain are______________?
Correct answer: A. Glycolysis and citric acid cycle
- A. Glycolysis and citric acid cycle
- B. Glycogenolysis and Gluconeogenesis
- C. Embden-Meyerhof Pathway and H.M.P shunt
- D. Glycogenolysis and Citric and cycleOrder DNA Kits
Explanation
The brain primarily obtains energy by oxidising glucose through glycolysis, followed by the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis are not the main brain energy pathways because brain glycogen stores and gluconeogenic capacity are limited.
