Answer:

The only true statement in the options given is this: MORE ATP IS GENERATED FROM THE METABOLISM OF A FATTY ACID THAN A GLUCOSE MOLECULE.

Explanation:

Glucose is the primary source of fuel for the living cells. Cells break down glucose to obtain energy which they use to carry out their life activities. The other major macro nutrients apart from glucose are fatty acids and proteins. When glucose is not available for cells' use, fatty acid and protein can be converted to glucose through the process of gluconeogenesis.

All though all the three macro molecules can produce energy, fat is the one that produce the highest amount of energy; each gram of fat supplies about 9 calories while glucose supply 4 calories and protein supply less than 4 calories.

Thus, more ATP is generated from the metabolism of fatty acid than a glucose and protein molecules.
