Link between glycolysis, Krebs cycle and P-oxidation of fatty acid or carbohydrate and fat metabolism is
(a) oxaloacetic acid
(b) succinic acid
(c) citric acid
(d) acetyl CoA.
Correct answer:- (d) acetyl CoA
Explanation:- Krebs cycle is intimately related with fat metabolism. Dihydroxy acetone phosphate (DHAP) produced in glycolysis may be ‘converted into glycerol via glycerol – 3 – phosphate and vice-versa. Glycerol is important constituents of fats. After P-oxidation, fatty acids give rise to active – 2 – C units, the acetyl-CoA which may enter the Krebs cycle. Thus, Acetyl-CoA is a link between glycolysis, Krebs cycle and P- oxidation of fatty acid or carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
