Most fatty acids have an even number of carbons and, therefore, are completely metabolized to acetyl-CoA. A fatty acid with an odd number of carbons is metabolized to acetyl-CoA and one equivalent of propionyl-CoA. The following two reactions convert propionyl-CoA into succinyl-CoA, a citric acid cycle intermediate, so it can be further metabolized. Each of the reactions requires a coenzyme. Identify the coenzyme for each step. From what vitamins are the coenzymes derived?
The TCA cycle (or tricarboxylic acid cycle) breaks down acetyl CoA and captures
the energy in high energy molecules.
For each molecule of acetyl CoA, the TCA cycle yields
A) 1 ATP and 1 NADH
B) 1 CO₂ and 2 NADH
C) 4 CO₂ and 6 NADH and 2 FADH2
2
D) 2 CO₂ and 3 NADH and 1 FADH₂
E) 2 CO₂ and 3 NADH and and 1 FADH₂ and 1
ATP

Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA
Citric acid cycle
Gluconeogenesis pathway (pyruvate to glucose)
Catabolism of triacylglycerols- beta-oxidation pathway
Biosynthesis of fatty acids from Acetyl CoA
