Which of the following is FALSE with respect to ketone bodies? The production of ketone bodies is low when blood sugar levels are low. b-hydroxybutyrate is a ketone body. Ketone bodies are more easily transported in the blood than fatty acids. Ketone bodies are fuel molecules that can be catabolized via the citric acid cycle. Ketone bodies are produced in the liver.

Fatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in A) fatty acid synthesis B) ketolysis C) glycolysis D) tricarboxylic acid cycle E) oxidative phosphorylation
