Fatty acid releases a considerable amount of energy in oxidation during:

Correct answer: B. Krebs cycle

  • A. Calvin cycle
  • B. Krebs cycle
  • C. Dark reaction
  • D. Light reaction

Explanation

Fatty acids are broken down into acetyl-CoA molecules through a process called beta-oxidation. Acetyl-CoA then enters the Krebs cycle, where it is further oxidized to produce energy. The Krebs cycle is a series of chemical reactions that occur in the mitochondria of cells. These reactions produce carbon dioxide, ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and other energy-carrying molecules.
