Which of the following best explains why β-oxidation of fatty acids cannot efficiently occur under anaerobic conditions?
True or False: The stepwise oxidation of fatty acids is called β-oxidation because the β-carbon of the fatty acid is oxidized in each cycle.
Determine the number of acetyl-CoA molecules generated from the catabolism of stearic acid (CH3(CH2)16COOH), and provide the number of β-oxidations needed.
