The fatty acids produced from the hydrolysis of triglyceride

The fatty acids produced from the hydrolysis of triglycerides can

Select one:

a. be used to enter directly into glycolysis, producing extra ATP.

b. be oxidized to produce acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle.

c. produce glucose by a pathway separate from gluconeogenesis.

d. be modified to undergo either glycolysis or gluconeogenesis.

Solution

b. can be oxidised to produce acetyl Co-A which enters the citric acid cycle.

This is one of the fates of triglycerides synthesised from the fatty acids.
