Question
Chapter 29.3, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To predict the molecules of acetyl CoA are produced by catabolism of the following fatty acids and the pages needed to the β-oxidation pathway.
Concept introduction:
B oxidation of fatty acids degrades the carbon chain as a result of the catabolic breakdown most fatty acids have an even number of carbon atoms, so none, are left over after the β - oxidation it has been found that when → mere is an n-carbon fatty acid chain, the number of acetyl COA molecules obtained as the major end product is n/2 and the number of passages of breakdown is n/2-1 for the given reaction.
