Which of the following biomolecules is common to respiration-mediated breakdown of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins?
|
|
Fructose 1-6 bisphosphate
|
|
|
Pyruvic acid
|
|
|
Acetyl CoA
|
|
|
Glucose 6-phosphate
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Acetyl CoA is the biomolecule that is common to respiration mediated breakdown of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -The biomolecules that are used as reactants in cellular respiration are fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. These molecules are used as fuels that are oxidized to release energy. Oxygen and glucose are also used as reactants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acetyl CoA, the precursor of the Krebs cycle can also be made from fatty acids. Therefore, glucose and acetyl CoA are common to both fat and glucose catabolism.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘pyruvic acid and Acetyl CoA’
