Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of acetyl CoA is formed from complete beta-oxidation of the fatty acid depicted in the ball and stick model, 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 the number of the time beta-oxidation occurs can be determined 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.

- 19-46 In a dietary context, classify each of the following fatty acids as an essential fatty acid or as a nonessential fatty acid. a. Stearic acid (18:0) b. Linolenic acid (18:3) c. Oleic acid (18:1) d. Arachidic acid (20:0) 10 /7 Earrow_forwardHow many of each of these molecules are produced in the complete beta-oxidation of one 22-carbon fatty acid molecule? acetyl-CoA molecules: NADH molecules: FADH, molecules: + TOOLS x10arrow_forwardFatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in A) fatty acid synthesis B) ketolysis C) glycolysis D) tricarboxylic acid cycle E) oxidative phosphorylationarrow_forward
