Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetyl CoA can be synthesized from all three energy-yielding nutrients. Carbohydrates are converted to glucose, which is then broken down to pyruvate through glycolysis. Pyruvate is then converted to acetyl CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle. Fatty acids are broken down to acetyl CoA through beta-oxidation, and proteins are converted to amino acids, which can be converted into pyruvate or acetyl CoA. Lactate, glycogen, oxaloacetate, and glucose cannot be synthesized from all three nutrients.
