β-oxidation occurs in

Correct answer: C. Mitochondria

  • A. Nucleus
  • B. Cytoplasm
  • C. Mitochondria
  • D. Chloroplast

Explanation

β-Oxidation is a process that occurs in the mitochondria.It involves the breakdown of fatty acids into acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle to produce energy.The correct answer is C (Mitochondria). β-Oxidation is a mitochondrial process where fatty acids are broken down to generate energy in the form of ATP.

About Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, producing ATP. The pathway differs in oxygen availability: aerobic respiration uses oxygen and yields more ATP, while anaerobic respiration produces much less ATP and forms lactic acid in muscles or ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast.
