During the beta oxidation of an unsaturated fatty acid, an isomerase enzyme is used. What is the consequence of this on FADH2 production?

• A. FADH2 production is decreased because the isomerase bypasses the initial oxidation step that generates FADH2.
• B. FADH2 production is increased because the isomerase facilitates additional oxidation steps.
• C. FADH2 production is increased because isomerase enhances the efficiency of the beta oxidation process.
• D. FADH2 production is unaffected because isomerase does not participate in oxidation reactions.

Answer: (A)
