Final answer:

Nucleotides are not produced during the breakdown of phospholipids.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the breakdown of phospholipids, nucleotides are not produced. Phospholipids consist of a glycerol backbone with two fatty acid chains and a phosphorus-containing group. When phospholipids are broken down, the fatty acids and glycerol are released, while the phosphorus-containing group is modified and used for other cellular processes.
