Question

For transport of acyl CoA into mitochondria, select the correct order of steps involved:
A. Acyl- carnitine to acyl CoA
B. Acyl- carnitine transported to mitochondrial matrix
C. Acyl group of acyl CoA transferred to carnitine
D. Carnitine released and return to cytosol

• A. C, B, A, D
• B. B, C, D, A
• C. C, A, D, B
• D. D, C, A, B

Hint:

Carnitine Shuttle Order:
1. CPT-I attaches carnitine to acyl group (C).
2. Translocase shuttles acyl-carnitine into matrix (B).
3. CPT-II converts acyl-carnitine back to acyl-CoA (A).
4. Free carnitine shuttles back to cytosol (D).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
