All of the following statements about β-oxidation of fatty acids are correct EXCEPT: a. Fatty acids are broken down to acetyl CoA. b. The brain can use fatty acids as a fuel. c. It is an energy generation process in the mitochondria. d. Each round of β-oxidation produces one acetyl CoA, one NADH+H+, one FADH2, and a shortened fatty acyl CoA. e. Fatty acids must be activated to fatty acyl CoA before β-oxidation.

Consider the complete oxidation of oleic acid, $\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7}-\mathrm{COOH},$ which is a $\mathrm{C}_{18}$ monounsaturated fatty acid. a. How many cycles of $\beta$ oxidation are needed? b. How many acetyl CoA are produced? c. How many ATP are generated from the oxidation of oleic acid?
