Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If acetyl-CoA is not metabolized by the citrate cycle, it can instead undergo fatty acid metabolism where it will be used in the synthesis of fatty acids for energy storage or cell membrane synthesis. It will not be transported across the cell membrane, used to synthesize amino acids or used during glycolysis.
