Which molecule is a key reactant in both ATP production from fatty acids and lipogenesis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetyl-CoA is a key reactant in both ATP production from fatty acids via beta-oxidation and in lipogenesis where it is used to build fatty acids. Glucose and pyruvate are involved in ATP production through glycolysis and the TCA cycle, but not directly in fatty acid metabolism. Triglycerides and glycerol are products of lipogenesis and fat storage, not reactants.
