During the metabolism of fats,the product of beta-oxidation enters
A) glycolysis
B) the Krebs cycle
C) oxidative phosphorylation
D) electron transport chain

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The product of beta-oxidation, acetyl-CoA, enters the Krebs cycle. The Krebs cycle is responsible for further breaking down acetyl-CoA to produce energy in the form of ATP. Glycolysis occurs with the breakdown of glucose, not fats. Oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain occur after the Krebs cycle and are part of the process of generating ATP from energy harvested during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
