Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of acetyl CoA is formed from complete beta-oxidation of the oleic acid, needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Beta − oxidation of fatty acids involves four series of reactions. In this reaction, the long-chain fatty acid is degraded into many two-carbon unit's acetyl CoA.
The number of acetyl CoA molecules formed, and number of time beta-oxidation occur can be determine by using the number of carbon atoms present in the fatty acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of cycles of beta-oxidation is required for complete oxidation needs to be identified.
