Question

Processing Fatty_Acids for Fuel: 1. What three stages of processing are needed to process fatty acids for fuels? 2. How is glycerol catabolized? 3. What modification occurs to fatty acids before entering the mitochondria? Explain how this reaction is driven to completion 4. How many protein activities are required for entry of a fatty acyl CoA molecule into the mitochondria? Describe the chemical changes involved (structures) 5. What are the four basic steps of beta oxidation (structures)? Give necessary cofactors and/or cosubstrates.

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1-Three stages for use of fatty acids as fuel include:

1-Triglyceroles are degraded to fatty acids & glycerol and is transported to tissues.

2-fatty acids gets activated and transported to mitrochondria for degradation.

3- fatty acids converted to acetyl CoA, this is then processed in to citric acid cycle.
