Proteins can be broken down to produce
A
pyruvate
B
acetyl CoA
C
intermediates of the citric acid cycle
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteolysis is the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins are marked for degradation by the attachment of ubiquitin to the amino group of the side chain of a lysine residue. Additional ubiquitins are then added to form a multiubiquitin chain. Such polyubiquinated proteins are recognized and degraded by a large, multisubunit protease complex, called the proteasome.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein can be categorized into two types: complete and incomplete proteins. Proteins are made up of smaller units, called amino acids. Complete proteins contain all of the amino acids your body needs and include meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and soy products.
