What condition leads to the production of ketone bodies from acetyl CoA? a. low blood pH b. low supply of oxaloacetate in the citric acid cycle c. high levels of ATP d. high blood pH e. low supply of carnitine in β-oxidation

low supply of oxaloacetate in the citric acid cycle

Explanation:

When there is low supply of oxalo acetate the acetyl CoA gets converted to ketone bodies to enter the TCA cycle.

In the condition of low level of glucose, the supply of oxaloacetate decreases. Thus making it unavailable to react with acetyl CoA, in this condition ketogenesis occur i. e. acetyl CoA gets converted to ketone bodies.
