B)quantity of triglycerides stored in the adipocytes
C)activation of fatty acids by binding to coenzyme A
D)action of the carnitine

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the options are correct. A) Hormone-sensitive lipase is crucial for mobilizing stored triglycerides in adipocytes. B) The quantity of triglycerides stored in adipocytes directly affects the amount of energy that can be obtained from fat. C) Activation of fatty acids by binding to coenzyme A is a necessary step for their subsequent breakdown in the mitochondria. D) Carnitine plays a key role in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation, which is essential for energy production from fat.
