Question
Chapter 22, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The process that has similar steps to beta-oxidation should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The fatty acids are degraded in a sequential manner, which is two carbon units at the carboxyl end of the molecule are removed in each step. The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids takes place inside the mitochondria, and it includes the oxidation of beta carbon of the fatty acids.
