Glucose Fats Proteins Acetyl-CoA Krebs

What does this diagram demonstrate about cellular respiration?

  • A

    Only carbohydrates can fuel cellular respiration

  • B

    Fats bypass acetyl-CoA and enter ETC directly

  • C

    Proteins are the primary fuel for the Krebs cycle

  • D

    Multiple macromolecules can be catabolized through shared intermediates to power respiration
