How does a fatty acyl enter the matrix of a mitochondrion? Acyl carnitine translocates with carnitine both with a concentration gradient The energy of the CoA band allows the Acyl group to pass through the membrane via chaperone. Passive diffusion is all that is necessary since Acyl CoA is hydrophobic Acyl CoA translocates with Carnitine CoA acting as a CoA shuttle Acyl CoA translocates with Acetyl CoA acting as an acetyl shuttle 2nte
