Does glycogenolysis increase blood glucose levels?
Yes, glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose, which can increase blood glucose levels.
How many FAD and NAD plus molecules are needed for the breakdown of each glucose molecule?

Is electron transport the first step in the breakdown of glucose?
No, the first step in the breakdown of glucose is glycolysis, which occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Electron transport occurs later in the process, specifically in the mitochondria where the electrons produced in glycolysis are used to generate ATP.
