Question

Link between glycolysis and krebs cycle,beta oxidation of fatty acid or carbohydrate and fat metabolism

Answer 1

Cells need a constant supply of energy to survive. The biochemical currency for energy is adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and is produced in the mitochondria. But the mitochondria need a fuel source to produce ATP. Cells can use sugars, fats, and amino acids as potential fuel sources. The cell prioritizes the available resources, using glucose first followed by fatty acids, and finally amino acids from protein catabolism.
