Which statement is true concerning Diabetes Mellitus?

A. Formation of large amounts of ATP: Large ATP production occurs in aerobic respiration, not anaerobic metabolism. Lactic acidosis happens when there is a lack of oxygen and insufficient ATP production.

B. Muscle soreness: While lactic acid buildup may contribute to temporary muscle discomfort, muscle soreness alone does not indicate lactic acidosis, which is a systemic condition.

C. Formation of ketone bodies: Ketone bodies are produced during fat metabolism (e.g., in diabetic ketoacidosis), not anaerobic glucose metabolism.

D. Anaerobic breakdown of glucose: When oxygen levels are low, cells undergo anaerobic respiration, converting glucose to lactic acid instead of completely breaking it down through aerobic respiration. This leads to lactic acidosis.

A. Lipids: Some hormones (e.g., steroid hormones like estrogen and testosterone) are lipid-based, but not all. Hemoglobin is a protein, not a lipid.

B. Glucose: Glucose is a carbohydrate used for energy, not for building hormones or hemoglobin.

C. Proteins: Hormones (such as insulin and growth hormone) and hemoglobin (which carries oxygen in red blood cells) are protein-based molecules essential for bodily functions.

D. Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates provide energy but do not contribute to the structure of proteins like hormones and hemoglobin.
