Which of the Following is Not a Product of the Breakdown

Question

Which of the following is not a product of the breakdown of dietary proteins for energy?  
A) Amino acids
B) Ammonia
C) Pyruvate
D) Acetyl-CoA
E) Mitrate

Accepted Answer

Mitrate is not a product of the breakdown of dietary proteins for energy. The breakdown of proteins typically results in the production of amino acids, ammonia (which is further processed into urea for excretion), and intermediates like pyruvate and acetyl-CoA, which enter the Krebs cycle for energy production. "Mitrate" is not a recognized compound in biochemistry related to protein metabolism.
