Problem
ProblemHow is oxaloacetate related to ketone bodies formation?
A
High levels of acetyl CoA accumulate and increase the rate of citric acid cycle.
B
Oxaloacetate combines with acetyl CoA to form citrate; this leads to formation of ketone bodies.
C
Citric acid cycle is not dependent on oxaloacetate, and all acetyl CoA is free to be oxidized in the cycle.
D
Ketone bodies are formed when oxaloacetate levels are low.
E
Ketogenesis can speed up gluconeogenesis by producing more oxaloacetate.
