What additional step is needed for degradation of saturated fatty acids with odd number of carbons?...
- What additional step is needed for degradation of saturated fatty acids with odd number of carbons? In a short answer explain how is this connected to the TCA cycle?
Homework Answers
During Degradation of odd chain fatty acid at last there are 5 carbon units so 3 carbon compound propionyl CoA and two carbon compound acetyl CoA is produced during beta oxidation.
This propionyl CoA is further by the action of biotin and coenzyme B12 it is converted to succinyl CoA thus it enters to TCA cycle .

3. TRUE/FALSE: Most naturally occurring fatty acids have an odd number of carbon atoms. The pathway for catabolism of fatty acids is referred to as the B-oxidation pathway, because oxidation occurs at the B-carbon (C-3). The fatty acids can be oxidized by B-oxidation and converted into acetyl-CoA. 4. Use examples to explain oxidation of fatty acids as a major energy source.
