Question

Which types of amino acids are both ketogenic and glucogenic? A. those that are degraded to succinyl-CoA B. those that are degraded to pyruvate C. those that are degraded to oxaloacetate D. those that are degraded to acetyl-CoA E. Those that are degraded to malate

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is D . Those that degraded to acetyl=CoA.

Explanation:

An amino acid is glucogenic when it can be converted to glucose through gluconeogenesis, while the amino acids that can be converted to ketone bodies are said to be ketogenic.

They can be degraded into acetyl CoA.
