Answer:

citric acid cycle

Step-by-step explanation:

To give just one example, acetyl CoA (mentioned above) that's produced in cellular respiration can be diverted from the citric acid cycle and used to build the lipid cholesterol. Cholesterol forms the backbone of the steroid hormones in our bodies, such as testosterone and estrogens.
