The breakdown of one glucose molecule during glycolysis results in 2 molecules of pyruvate, which are then oxidized to 2 molecules of acetyl-CoA, and these, in turn, are substrates for the citric acid cycle

If all three fatty acids of a triacylglycerol molecule (a fat molecule) are
palmitic acid (C16, having 16 carbons), how many acetyl-CoA molecules would result from
beta-oxidation of all of these fatty acids?
A. 4
B. 8
C. 16
D. 24
E. 32
