7. Beta-oxidation of fatty acids is far more efficient than glycolysis because: regenerates pyruvate via the malate shuttle. produces half as much lactate. doesn't require oxygen at all. it only requires ATP activation once for each chain. - FACS add CoA group - NADH/FADH is higher in glycolysis - switches from lipid oxidation to glucose oxidation

Is the $\beta$ -oxidation of a fatty acid (without the subsequent metabolism of $\mathrm{C}_{2}$ fragments via the common metabolic pathway) more efficient with a short-chain fatty acid than with a long-chain fatty acid? Is more ATP produced per carbon atom in a short-chain fatty acid than in a long-chain fatty acid during $\beta$ -oxidation?
The Krebs Cycle and beta-oxidation of fatty acids differ in that: Only the Krebs Cycle involves "growing a carbonyl." Acetyl-CoA is a reactant in the Krebs Cycle but a product of beta-oxidation. The Krebs Cycle happens in mitochondria, while beta-oxidation is in the cytoplasm. Only the Krebs Cycle involves production of NADH.

Efficiency of ATP Production in Muscle The transformation of glucose to lactate in myocytes releases only about $7 \%$ of the free energy released when glucose is completely oxidized to $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$. Does this mean that anaerobic glycolysis in muscle is a wasteful use of glucose? Explain.
