Which of the following correctly describes the sequence of events in the conversion of a triacylglycerol to acetyl-CoA?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of events in the conversion of a triacylglycerol to acetyl-CoA is as follows: First, the triacylglycerol undergoes lipolysis to release free fatty acids. These free fatty acids are transported by albumin to the mitochondria. Next, the free fatty acids are activated to acyl CoA, which is then transported into the mitochondrial matrix by the carnitine shuttle. Once inside the matrix, the fatty acid is oxidized via beta-oxidation to produce acetyl-CoA. Choice C is the only answer option that follows this sequence correctly.
