Which of the following is NOT true about beta-oxidation of fatty acids? Only even-chain fatty acids can be broken down via beta-oxidation. Beta-oxidation is active during fasting/starvation and during exercise. Beta-oxidation generates NADH and FADH2. Beta-oxidation generates acetyl CoA. Ketone bodies can be used by all tissues in the human body for energy. True False TAG incorporated into VLDL in the liver can come from which of the following? Select all that apply. Dietary cholesterol Beta-oxidation of fatty acids in the liver De novo synthesis of fatty acids Glycerol from lipolysis in adipose tissue

Which of the following statements about fatty acids is FALSE? Several classes of lipids use fatty acids as the basic building block. The carboxyl group within the fatty acid makes the molecule partly hydrophillic. Fatty acids may have single or double bonds between the carbons in the backbone of the molecule. Fatty acids have an alpha helical structure. Fatty acids are composed of chains of carbon and hydrogen.

In comparing fatty acid biosynthesis with β-oxidation of fatty acids, which of the following statements is FALSE? Acyl-CoA derivatives are intermediates in both systems. Fatty acid biosynthesis uses NADPH, whereas β-oxidation uses NAD+ and FAD. The condensation of two moles of acetyl-CoA is more rapid in bicarbonate buffer than in phosphate buffer at the same pH; the cleavage of acetoacetyl-CoA proceeds equally well in either buffer. Fatty acid synthesis is catalyzed by cytosolic enzymes; fatty acid degradation by mitochondrial enzymes. Breakdown of a 16C fatty acid produces more than enough energy to rebuild that fatty acid.

Which of the following statements is false? a. A healthy human has enough stored fat to supply calories for several weeks. b. An increase in leptin levels leads to an increase in appetite and weight gain. c. The interconversion of glucose and glycogen takes place in the liver. d. After glycogen stores are filled, excessive calories are stored as fat, regardless of their original food source.
