What is a characteristic of an amino acid, which is ketogenic but not glucogenic? The amino acid can provide carbons for the synthesis of fatty acids The amino acid can enter the TCA cycle at the level of succinyl CoA. The amino acid can provide carbons for the net synthesis of glycogen The amino acid is NOT oxidized through the TCA cycle. The amino acid is converted to TCA cycle intermediates.
