Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of coenzyme A in fatty acid oxidation?
  • Step 1: Understand that fatty acids are long chains of carbon and hydrogen that need to be broken down for energy.
  • Step 2: Know that fatty acids cannot enter the mitochondria (the energy factory of the cell) directly.
  • Step 3: Learn that coenzyme A (CoA) is a helper molecule that attaches to fatty acids to form a new compound called acyl-CoA.
  • Step 4: Realize that acyl-CoA can now easily enter the mitochondria.
  • Step 5: Once inside the mitochondria, acyl-CoA is used in a process called fatty acid oxidation to produce energy.
