Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many carbons are there in an acetyl coA?
A
2
B
3
C
4
D
6
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each Acetyl CoA consists of 2 carbon atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -The glycolysis of a single glucose molecule gives two pyruvic acid molecules comprising three carbons each. Each of these pyruvate molecules undergoes acetylation and decarboxylation, to give Acetyl coenzyme A and carbon dioxide. Thus, each molecule of Acetyl CoA has two carbon atoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two acetyl-CoA molecules condense to form acetoacetyl-CoA, which gives rise to the formation of acetoacetate and -hydroxybutyrate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Acetyl-CoA Structure Acetyl groups contain two carbon units and have the chemical formula C2H3O.

Detailed explanation-5: -Amino acids: Acetyl-CoA is generated during the catabolism of isoleucine, leucine, and threonine. Lysine and tryptophan each generate two acetyl-CoA molecules.
