The oxidation of pyruvate is not the only process that generates acetyl-coa. in particular, fatty acids are broken down through oxidation, generating a great deal of acetyl-coa, which can also enter the tca cycle to generate high energy molecules. is there a difference between between the tca cycle using acetyl-coa generated from fatty acid oxidation compared to that generated from carbohydrate oxidation?
a. the concentration of malate increases when reacting with acetyl-coa derived from a fatty acid,
b. a molecule of acetyl-coa derived from a fatty acid generates more fadh2 than acetyl-coa from
c. a molecule of acetyl-coa derived from a carbohydrate generates more nadh than acetyl-coa but not when reacting with acetyl-coa derived from a carbohydrate. wi derived from a carbohydrate derived from a fatty acid.
d. there is no difference in the tca cycle, regardless of the source of acetyl-coa.
