Acetyl CoA donates the two-carbon acetyl group to a four-carbon acceptor molecule to begin what process?
A) glycolysis
B) the Krebs cycle
C) the electron transport chain
D) the Calvin cycle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetyl CoA donates the two-carbon acetyl group to oxaloacetate, a four-carbon acceptor molecule, in the Krebs cycle. This begins a series of reactions that ultimately generate ATP, NADH, and FADH2 for use in the electron transport chain. Glycolysis, the Calvin cycle, and the electron transport chain do not involve the donation of acetyl groups from Acetyl CoA.
