Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of acetyl CoA is formed from complete beta-oxidation of the fatty acid depicted in the ball and stick model, needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Beta − oxidation of fatty acids involves four series of reactions. In this reaction, the long-chain fatty acid is degraded into many two-carbon unit's acetyl CoA.
The number of acetyl CoA molecules formed, and the number of times the beta-oxidation occurs can be determined by using the number of carbon atoms present in the fatty acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of cycles of beta-oxidation is required for complete oxidation needs to be identified.

- Stearic acid is the common name for the C18 straight-chain, saturated fatty acid. Draw the structure of the fatty acyl-CoA that this forms (you don't have to draw out all of the atoms in coenzyme A; you can represent it as S-, and then show all of the reactions). Draw & identify all of the compounds formed when the eighteen carbon fat is converted to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and the fourteen-carbon fat via two turns of the fatty acid spiral. List the enzymes and coenzymes that are part of the pathway.arrow_forwardIn a dietary context, classify each of the following fatty acids as an essential fatty acid or as a nonessential fatty acid. a.
