This is a question from TBR Bio. Can someone explain why the answer to this question is D?
Which metabolic pathway begins in one cellular compartment and finishes in a different cellular compartment?
A. Glycolysis
B. Beta Oxidation
C. Citric Acid Cycle
D. Gluconeogenesis
Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol. TCA occurs in the matrix of mitchondria. I though it would be B because fatty acids are first activated in the cytoplasm and then are transported to the matrix. But doesn't gluconeogenesis occur in liver cells?
