Summary Introduction

To review:

The blank space in the statement “The acetyl group of acetyl-Coenzyme A is derived from the breakdown of carbohydrates, lipids, and certain _________.”

Introduction:

The tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) is also called as the citric acid cycle (CAC). This metabolic pathway generates electron carriers by oxidizing acetyl-Coenzyme A molecules. The electron carriers are then consumed to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a form of energy, in the mitochondria through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
