Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Among acyl CoA, enoyl CoA, hydroxyacyl CoA, or ketoacyl CoA, the substance that is involved as a product in step 1 of one “turn” of the β-oxidation pathway has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The β-oxidation pathway is defined as a repetitive series of four biochemical reactions in which acyl CoA is degraded to acetyl CoA by the removal of two carbon atoms at a time. NADH and FADH2 are also produced in this pathway. The
A product is defined as the substance that is formed after the completion of a
(b)
Interpretation:
Among acyl CoA, enoyl CoA, hydroxyacyl CoA, or ketoacyl CoA, the substance that is involved as a reactant in step 2 of one “turn” of the β-oxidation pathway has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The β-oxidation pathway is defined as a repetitive series of four biochemical reactions in which acyl CoA is degraded to acetyl CoA by the removal of two carbon atoms at a time. NADH and FADH2 are also produced in this pathway. The functional group change in the β-oxidation pathway is as follows:
A reactant is defined as the substance that is initially present in the chemical reaction and gets consumed to form a new substance.
(c)
Interpretation:
Among acyl CoA, enoyl CoA, hydroxyacyl CoA, or ketoacyl CoA, the substance that is involved as a reactant in step3 of one “turn” of the β-oxidation pathway has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The β-oxidation pathway is defined as a repetitive series of four biochemical reactions in which acyl CoA is degraded to acetyl CoA by the removal of two carbon atoms at a time. NADH and FADH2 are also produced in this pathway. The functional group change in the β-oxidation pathway is as follows:
A reactant is defined as the substance that is initially present in the chemical reaction and gets consumed to form a new substance.
