Document Summary

Activated at the same time as the others, just more complex pathway thus takes longer to ramp up. The breakdown of big molecules like carbs (glucose) and fatty acids. Eventually acetyl-coa combines with the product of kreb cycle oxaloacetic acid (oaa) and end up with a 6-c molecule citric acid (or citrate). Citrate then goes through the process again to become oaa. 2 co2 leave and we are left with 4c to combine with the new acetyl-coa coming in to create citrate again. 1 fadh2 and 1 nadh2 are produced and enter the etc. 1 atp is produced and used for energy. Where are triglycerides found, explain the structure and how to break them down. They are found in fat cells which have a large lipid droplet. To break down fat, you need to break down the fatty acid chains from the glycerol backbone and deliver to the mitochondria to be oxidized and create acetyl-coa.
