Question

Which of the following is the correct sequence of events (from start to finish) in cellular fatty acid oxidation?

A. Fatty acid activationà carnitine shuttleà beta-oxidation
B. Beta-oxidationà carnitine shuttleà Fatty acid activation
C. Fatty acid activationà carnitine shuttleà beta-oxidation
D. Carnitine shuttleà Fatty acid activationà beta-oxidation

Answer 1

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The oxidation of the fatty is done to generate energy from the fatty acids and this process takes place in the mitochondria.

First the carnitine helps in shuttling of the long chained fatty acids in the mitochondria.

then, the activation of the fatty acids happen for the oxidation

after that the oxidation of the fatty acids (this is also called as the beta oxidation ) occurs.

hence, the correct sequence is option D) "Carnitine shuttle, Fatty acid activation, beta-oxidation"
