Interpretation:
The process which must take place before an activated fatty acid undergoes
Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-
Cytosol is the liquid portion in the cytoplasm.
Matrix is the gel –like material found in mitochondria which is more viscous than the cell’s cytoplasm as it contains less water.
Mitochondrial matrix
Highly oxidative environment
Unique proton gradient
Capture gradient energy for ATP synthesis.
