Where in the cell are fatty acids normally oxidized?
Fatty acids are normally oxidized in the mitochondria of the cell. Through a series of enzymatic reactions, fatty acids are broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP.
Do fatty acids produce substancially more ATP than glucose?
yes it produces more than twice the amount of atp when oxidized by respiration
How many types of fatty acids are found in human body?
There are two main types of fatty acids found in the human body: saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids can be further classified into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?
Hydrogenated fatty acids.
What is a incomplete oxidation of fatty acid?
Incomplete oxidation of fatty acids occurs when fatty acids are not fully oxidized to completion into carbon dioxide and water through the citric acid cycle. This incomplete oxidation can lead to the formation of ketone bodies, which are acidic compounds that can accumulate in the blood and cause a condition known as ketosis.
Are fatty acids polar or nonpolar?
Fatty acids are nonpolar.
What is the common pathway for oxidation of products of glucose and fatty acids catabolism?
The common pathway for oxidation of products of glucose and fatty acids catabolism is the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle). In this cycle, acetyl-CoA derived from both glucose (from glycolysis) and fatty acids (from beta-oxidation) is oxidized to produce NADH and FADH2, which are then used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain.
What are the two essential fatty acids are?
Mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Why is beef fat a solid at room temperature?
This is because it contains more saturated fatty acids then unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point then unsaturated fatty acids.
What is the difference between fatty acids and fats?
Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. Fats are made up of a combination of different fatty acids. Fatty acids are the individual molecules that make up fats.
