What are fatty acids converted to in Beta oxidation?

Answer 1

beta oxidation of fatty acids ocur

only if the triacylglycerol

molecule of the fatty acid is cleaved intu

its component fatty acid and glycerol .the fatty acid b-oxdn

Answer 2

Beta oxidation of fatty acids occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. First is the activation step where coenzyme A catalyzes the formation of fatty acyl-CoA thioester in the outer mitochondrial membrane. For fatty acids with an even number and odd number of carbons, the end products are acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA respectively.

Answer 3

If the starting number of carbon molecules are same, saturated fatty acid produces more energy than the unsaturated fatty acid.

Answer 4

its not

Answer 5

Acetyl CoA
