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 are required for complete oxidation needs to be identified.

- Why is Omega 3 fatty acids essential?arrow_forwardWhich of the following are triacylglycerols? a) sphingomyelins; e) fats; b) oils; f) sphyngolipids; c) steroids; g) prostaglandins; d) terpenes; h) waxes.arrow_forwardFatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in A) fatty acid synthesis B) ketolysis C) glycolysis D) tricarboxylic acid cycle E) oxidative phosphorylationarrow_forward
