How can glycerol enter glycolysis?
longer The oxidation of triglicerides to fatty acids and glycerol occurs in the cytoplasm. After that, glycerol is phosphorylated and enters glycolysis, while fatty acids are oxidised elsewhere. The oxidation of fatty acids in its common form(beta-oxidation) occurs in mitochondria and in peroxisomes. Glycogen and fatty acids are stored locally. When needed, they are broken down, with the energy used by the cell or exported.
