TCA Cycle - Medical Science

Q1:

The catabolism of sugars and fatty acids is similar because

A both of these compounds are funnelled through the TC A/citric acid cycle

B both of these compounds generate redox energy during catabolism

C both of these compounds generate chemical energy during catabolism

D all of the above

ANS:A - both of these compounds are funnelled through the TC A/citric acid cycle

I think the answer can be All of the above. Because Citric acid cycle is the common pathway for both carbohydrates and fats. Ultimately all biomolecules catabolize to generate chemical energy. And almost all the processes of generating chemical energy involve redox energy.
