Question

Acetyl CoA is a product of ________.

• A. Oxidation of fatty acids
• B. Deamination of amino acids
• C. Glycolysis
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All the above

Acetyl-CoA is generated either by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate from glycolysis, which occurs in mitochondrial matrix, by oxidation of long-chain fatty acids, or by oxidative degradation of certain amino acids. Acetyl-CoA then enters in the TCA cycle where it is oxidized for energy production.
So, the correct option is D.
