1. Fatty acids reacting with Coenzyme A is called acyl CoA.
2. Beta-oxidation processes will continue until all carbon atoms in the acyl CoA have become acetyl CoA.
3. If dietary lipids have been digested, they will become glycerol and fatty acids.
4. Ketogenesis is the metabolic pathway by which ketone bodies like acetone are synthesized.
5. The product of glycerol metabolism can be used for the synthesis of glucose via gluconeogenesis.
6. At the end of each beta-oxidation process, acyl CoA has two fewer carbon atoms.
7. Oxidation of fatty acids can synthesize acetyl CoA. These acetyl CoA molecules may not enter the Krebs cycle if the body does not need energy; hence, acetyl CoA may be converted into cholesterol.
8. Acyl CoA has longer carbon atoms than acetyl CoA.
9. Acyl CoA molecules need to be transported into the mitochondrial matrix via a shuttle mechanism.
10. The acetyl CoA produced in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids can enter the Krebs cycle, ETC - OP for ATP synthesis.
11. Oxidation of fatty acids can synthesize acetyl CoA. These acetyl CoA molecules may not enter the Krebs cycle if the body does not need energy; hence, acetyl CoA may be converted into TAGs and stored as fats in adipose tissues.
12. Fatty acids generated in the digestion of lipids can create numerous acetyl CoA via the beta-oxidation pathway.
13. As seen in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids, it is proven that carbohydrates provide more ATP than lipids.
14. Ketogenesis happens because of a protein-carbohydrate imbalance.
15. Acyl CoA molecules cannot directly enter the Krebs cycle.
16. Ketone bodies include: acetone, acetoacetate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate.
17. The product of glycerol metabolism cannot be used for the synthesis of pyruvate.
