Q. Acetyl coenzyme-A can be formed through the process of

AMUAMU 2013Respiration in Plants

Solution:

Acetyl coenzyme-A (acetyl Co-A), two carbon active acetate group can be formed through the process of glycolysis. Deamination of ammo acids and $\beta$-oxidation of fatty acids. As the EMP pathway is the first step of cellular respiration that break down the glucose and related hexose into two molecule of pyruvic acid. Pyruvate undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to produce acetyl Co-A. Excess amino acid are deaminated (removal of $-NH-$ group) and their organic acid are converted into glucose and other carbohydrates and during metabolism fats are converted into glucose,
