- Carbohydrates
- Proteins



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins enter different stages of aerobic respiration to produce ATP efficiently.


Explanation:

Lipids: Lipids enter the process of aerobic respiration through beta-oxidation to form acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle. They yield a large amount of ATP due to their high energy content.

Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose through glycolysis, which further enters the citric acid cycle to produce ATP efficiently.

Proteins: Proteins are first broken down into amino acids. The amino acids enter various stages of aerobic respiration depending on their structures, leading to ATP production.
