Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which process directly produces ATP during fatty acid oxidation?
  • Step 1: Understand that fatty acids are broken down in the body to produce energy.
  • Step 2: Learn that the process of breaking down fatty acids is called beta-oxidation.
  • Step 3: Know that during beta-oxidation, fatty acids are converted into smaller units called acetyl-CoA.
  • Step 4: Recognize that acetyl-CoA then enters another process called the citric acid cycle.
  • Step 5: Understand that the citric acid cycle is where ATP, the energy currency of the cell, is produced.
