Which of the metabolites is common to respiration-mediated breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins?
- APyruvic acid
- BAcetyl CoA
- CGlucose- 6 - phosphate
- DFructose 1, 6 - bisphosphate
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Acetyl CoA is common to respiration mediated breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Fats are broken down to fatty acid and glycerol and finally are degraded to acetyl Co - A. Protein first degraded by proteases to indiviual amino acids which are deaminated to pyruric acid and further decarboxylised to acetyl Co- A.
