PLEASE ANSWER THIS. CAN FATTY ACIDS SERVE AS A DIRECT SOURCE OF GLUCOSE? CAN FATTY ACIDS BE CONVERTED INTO GLUCOSE? WHY? WHY NOT?
HO.
Hexanoic acid is a 6-carbon saturated fatty acid found in goat's milk. Hexanoic acid also contributes to the "barnyard" smell of goats.
Fun fact: Hexanoic acid is also known as caproic acid. The name "caproic" is derived from the Latin word "caper", which means goat.
What is the balanced equation for complete beta oxidation of hexanoyl-COA to acetyl-CoA shown below (ignore H20 and H+):
O Hexanoyl-COA + 3COA + 3FAD + 3NAD+ -------> 3 acetyl-COA + 3 FADH2 +3 NADH
O Hexanoyl-CoA + 2COA + 2FAD + 2NAD+
--> 3 acetyl-CoA + 2 FADH2 + 2 NADH
O Hexanoyl-CoA + 1COA + 1FAD + 1NAD+
--> 2 acetyl-CoA + 1 FADH2 +1 NADH
O Hexanoyl-COA + 6COA + 6FAD + 6NAD+ --------> 6 acetyl-CoA.+ 6 FADH2 + 6 NADH
None of the above
