Unlocking the Mystery: Acetyl CoA Conversion in Cellular Processes

In the cytosol, acetyl CoA is converted to ___, a three-carbon compound.

malonyl CoA

In the cytosol, Acetyl CoA is converted to “acetyl-CoA” or “acetyl-coenzyme A” (the same molecule that entered the cytosol), and not to a three-carbon compound. The conversion of Acetyl CoA to a three-carbon molecule occurs in the mitochondria and is part of the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle).
