Current Question (ID: 11516)

Question:

If fatty acids were to be respired, they would first be degraded to:

Options:

1. Glucose-6 phosphate
2. Pyruvate
3. Acetyl-CoA
4. Alpha ketoglutarate

Solution:

If fatty acids were to be respired, they would first be degraded to Acetyl-CoA. This process is called beta-oxidation, and it occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. During beta-oxidation, fatty acids are broken down into two-carbon units that combine with coenzyme A to form acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA then enters the Krebs cycle, which generates ATP and carbon dioxide. Therefore, option 3, i.e., Acetyl-CoA, is the correct answer. Option 1 is incorrect because glucose-6-phosphate is an intermediate in the breakdown of glucose, not fatty acids. Option 2 is also incorrect because pyruvate is an intermediate in the breakdown of glucose, not fatty acids. Option 4 is incorrect because alpha-ketoglutarate is an intermediate in the Krebs cycle, not in the breakdown of fatty acids.
