Detailed explanation-1: -Each Acetyl CoA consists of 2 carbon atoms.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 3-carbon pyruvate molecule made in glycolysis loses a carbon to produce a new, 2-carbon molecule called acetyl CoA.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acetyl-CoA (acetyl coenzyme A) is a molecule that participates in many biochemical reactions in protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Its main function is to deliver the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production.
Detailed explanation-4: -Amino acids: Acetyl-CoA is generated during the catabolism of isoleucine, leucine, and threonine. Lysine and tryptophan each generate two acetyl-CoA molecules.
Detailed explanation-5: -Acetyl-CoA Structure Acetyl groups contain two carbon units and have the chemical formula C2H3O.
