Acetyl co A or acetyl coenzyme A is a chemical molecule that plays an important role in the biochemical reactions. This molecule acts as an intermediate molecule in various reactions.

Acetyl co A delivers the acetyl group in the citric acid cycle. Acetyl co A can also combine with another acetyl co A during the synthesis of fatty acid.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).
