Acetyl Co-A acts as a substrate for all the enzymes except______________?
Correct answer: B. Malic enzyme
- A. HMG-Co A synthase
- B. Malic enzyme
- C. Malonyl CoA synthetase
- D. Fatty acid synthetase
Explanation
Malic enzyme uses malate and NADP+ to form pyruvate, so acetyl-CoA is not its substrate. Acetyl-CoA participates in ketogenesis, fatty-acid synthesis, and the priming step of fatty-acid synthase.
