Name the biomolecules which are responsible for respiration- mediated breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins? (a)pyruvic acid (b)Acetyl CoA (c)Fructose 1,6 – bisphosphate (d)None of the above
Option B Acetyl CoA Carbohydrates, fats and proteins, all can be used as a substrate in cellular respiration. All of them first get converted to acetyl CoA to enter into Krebs' cycle of aerobic cellular respiration. Thus acetyl co-A is common to respiration-mediated breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
