Answer 1

In a bio-chemical metabolism, Beta- oxidation is a cataboloc process for fatty acid break down. It is named as this because beta carbon of the chain undergoes oxidation.

The end products in this reaction are NADH, FADH², acetyl-CoA(which enters the citric acid cycle ).

This process occurs in cytosol in prokaryotes and in mitochondria in eukaryotic cells.

Coming to calculating the total no.of ATP produced during the process, it can be done by ,( please check the image for detailed calculations)

process Energy yielding products, The ATP yield for every oxidation Source ATP Total I I FADH, X1.5 ATP x 2.5 ATP IINADH -1.5ATP (theoretically 2 ATP 1 = 2.5 ATP Theoretically 3 ATP] - 10 ATP ( theoretically 12 ATP] I acetylcoA ~ 10 ATP Total = 14 ATP for an even-numbered saunated fat (Can] ,nt oxidations are neccesary, and final product yeeds an ad acetyl.com In addition, a equivalents of ATP are lost during activation of fatty acid. total ATP yielded can be stated as.
