Biology
Energy extraction and the complete oxidation of foodstuffs requires three stages. The energy extracted from fuels is converted to ATP. Select the statements that are true for the different stages required for energy extraction and complete oxidation of foodstuffs. A. In the first stage, macromolecules are converted to monomers, and a small amount of ATP is produced. B. In the first and second stages the majority of ATP needed for cellular processes is produced. C. In the third stage, fuel molecules are completely oxidized to CO2 , and most of the ATP needed for cellular processes is produced. D. In the third stage, fuel molecules are completely oxidized to CO2 , and a small amount of ATP is produced. E. In the second stage, monomers are broken down, and a small amount of ATP is produced. F. In the third stage, fuel molecules are completely oxidized to CO2 , and no ATP is produced.
