Fatty acids are broken down into acetyl CoAs in the mitochondria via beta oxidation and fed into the Kreb's cycle.

 

Citrate synthase metabolises OAA and Acetyl-CoA into Citrate.

In reverse, citrate can exit the Kreb's cycle via fatty acid synthesis.

Thank you

The question is huge. A proper answer could be found by reading specific portions of several chapters in a standard biochemistry textbook.

What exactly was the question? Where was the question in the OP? Got it now it was in the title of the thread. Very efficient!
