Question 6 1 pts During a period of starvation in an otherwise healthy human, the citric acid cycle in hepatic tissue (liver cells) is depleted of intermediates due to the upregulation of gluconeogenesis. In this situation, after transamination of the lysine residue, what is a likely metabolic pathway for its carbon skeleton? O The carbon skeleton will be degraded to form ketone bodies I O Lysine is distributed to other tissues where it is converted to ketone bodies and enter the gluconeogenesis Its carbon skeleton will form a keto acid and be degraded to ketone bodies to maintain gluconeogenesis O Lysine is first distributed to other tissues where it is then converted to ketone bodies and enter the citric acid cycle
