The product of oxidation of odd chainfatty acids is______________?
Correct answer: A. Propionyl CoA
- A. Propionyl CoA
- B. Malonyl CoA
- C. Aceto acetyl CoA
- D. Fumaryl CoA
Explanation
Odd-chain fatty-acid oxidation ends with propionyl-CoA after repeated removal of two-carbon acetyl-CoA units. Propionyl-CoA is then converted to succinyl-CoA for entry into the citric acid cycle.
