Carbohydrate, fat and protein all are degraded to yield acetyl-coA which enters the TCA (Tri-carboxylic acid) Cycle.
Carbohydrate ----> glycolysis ---->pyruvate---->Electron transport chain--->Acetyl-coA.
Fat/Lipid--> Beta-oxidation-->acyl-coA-->Acetyl-coA.
Protein-->Amino acids-->Transamination/deamination-->
Keto-acids---->acetyl-coA.
Acetyl-coA------>TCA cycle----> CO2 + H2O.
