Which is NOT true? Hydrocarbons consumed in our diet:?

Question

a) converted to acetyl CoA
b) convert most of their free energy to ATP by substrate level
c) convered to CO2 in mitochondria
d) donate their electrons to electron transport chain
e) are oxidized and electrons removed by NAD & FAD

While I thank you for your answer, we digest hydrocarbons everyday. Saturated fat is nothing but a long carbon chain of hyrdocarbons.

Answer 1

I am an MD. Humans do NOT possess the necessary enzymes to metabolize hydrocarbons. Otherwise we might as well drink gasoline as an energy drink. There are a few microbes that do possess this ability, and they are very few. There has to be at least an alcohol (OH-group) somewhere in the molecule for humans to metabolize hydrocarbons. (But then it is not really a hydrocarbon, is it?) So the correct answer is, none of the above.
However, if said alcohol group or greater is present, then all of the above would apply.
P.S. Since when do we consume hydrocarbons in our diet? Hydrocarbons are toxic to humans if ingested.
