Which Component of Fat Can Be Metabolized for the Production

Question

Which component of fat can be metabolized for the production of ATP?
A) amino acids
B) monosaccharides
C) nucleic acids
D) glycerol

Accepted Answer

Glycerol is a component of fat that can be metabolized for the production of ATP. It can be converted to glucose, which is then used in cellular respiration to produce ATP. Amino acids can also be used for energy production, but they are not a component of fat. Monosaccharides such as glucose are used for ATP production, but they are not specifically components of fat. Nucleic acids are not used for energy production.
