Question

Which of the statements below are FALSE? Oxidation of fatty acids chains with odd or uneven numbers

a) produces a 3 carbon proprionyl-CoA fragment as a "left over" product at the final cycle of the beta-oxidation pathway.

b) produces propinoyl-CoA, instead of acetyl-CoA from the last three carbons of the fatty acid

c) is completed by the conversion of propionyl CoA to succinyl CoA in two steps

d) can be used to form glucose because the oxidation of the 3 carbons at the w-end of odd chain fatty acids yields succinyl CoA which can enter the citric acid cycle.

Explanation / Answer

The false statement is can be used to form glucose because the oxidation of the 3 carbons at the w-end of odd chain fatty acids yields succinyl CoA which can enter the citric acid cycle. The remaining (a,b,c) are correct.
