The eta oxidation pathway degrades activated fatty acids (acyl-CoA) to acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle.
Additional enzymes are required to oxidize unsaturated, odd-chain, long-chain, and branched fatty acids.
Which of the statements are true?
A 14-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid with cis configuration yields more ATP than a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid.
Enoyl-CoA isomerase, an enzyme that converts cis double bonds to trans double bonds in fatty acid metabolism,
bypasses a step that reduces Q, resulting in a higher ATP yield.
Complete catabolism of the three-carbon remnant of a 15-carbon fatty acid requires some citric acid cycle enzymes.
Trans double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids are not recognized by eta -oxidation enzymes.
Even-chain saturated fatty acids are oxidized to acetyl-CoA in the eta -oxidation pathway.
The final round of eta -oxidation for a 13-carbon saturated fatty acid yields acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA, a
three-carbon fragment.
