Question

Sapling for Biochem help?

The ?-oxidation pathway degrades activated fatty acids (acyl-CoA) to acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle. Additional enzymes are required to oxidize unsaturated, odd-chain, long-chain, and branched fatty acids. Which of the following statements are true?

E Beta-oxidation pathway degrades activated fatty acids (acyl-CoA) to acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle. Additional enzymes are required to oxidize unsaturated, odd-chain, long-chain, and branched fatty acids. Which of the following statements are true?

Explanation / Answer

The correct statements are as follows:

2) Even chain saturated fatty acids are oxidized to acetyl-CoA in betta-oxidation pathway.

3)The final round of betta oxidation for a 13-carbon saturated fatty acid yields acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA, a threecarbon fragment.

6) Completecatabolism of the three carbon remnant of a 15-0carbon fatty acid reqyuires some citric acid cycle enzymes.
