    Q:

    		 Which of the following does NOT help describe the distinction between ketogenic and glucogenic amino acids?

    		 

    A

    		 Ketogenic amino acids undergo an aminotransferase reaction and are combined to yield acetyl-CoA

    B

    		 Ketogenic amino acids are catabolized to yield acetyl-CoA

    C

    		 Glucogenic amino acids are catabolized to intermediates that serve as substrates for gluconeogenesis, such as pyruvate

    D

    		 Glucogenic amino acids can be converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis
