Choose the correct answer: 1- Oxidation of odd number fatty acids produce? 2- Essential FAs include? 3- Ketone bodies are synthesized only in? 4- One of the following fatty acids must undergo alpha oxidation before beta oxidation?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the biochemical processes related to fatty acids, such as their oxidation and the synthesis of ketone bodies. It tests knowledge of which fatty acids produce specific products and where certain biochemical processes occur.
Answer
1- Propionyl CoA, 2- Linoleic and linolenic, 3- Liver, 4- Phytanic acid.
1- Propionyl CoA, 2- Linoleic and linolenic, 3- Liver, 4- Phytanic acid.
Answer for screen readers
1- Propionyl CoA, 2- Linoleic and linolenic, 3- Liver, 4- Phytanic acid.
More Information
Odd-chain fatty acids produce propionyl-CoA. Essential fatty acids include linoleic and linolenic acids. Ketone bodies are synthesized in the liver. Phytanic acid requires alpha oxidation due to its branching.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing essential fatty acids; remember, linoleic and linolenic are essential. Also, ketone bodies are synthesized in the liver, not in other organs.
