Why is acetyl CoA (coenzyme A) the most important molecule in
metabolism, and not glucose (think about metabolism as a 'big
picture')? Lets talk about energy and how carbohydrates,
lipids and proteins are consumed by the body (think- Where does
acetyl coA come from?). Focus your discussion on the mechanisms or
pathways of metabolism. The answers are in understanding the flow
of atoms and energy.
