What is Acyl-CoA?
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
What is Acyl-CoA?

### Response:

Acyl-CoA is a group of coenzymes that metabolize fatty acids. Acyl-CoA's are susceptible to beta oxidation, forming, ultimately, acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA enters the citric acid cycle, eventually forming several equivalents of ATP. In this way, fats are converted to ATP, the universal biochemical energy carrier.
