Question

    Each turn of B-oxidation spiral generates two reduced coenzymes in the form of

    A Two NADH moles Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Two FADH2 moles Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C One NADH and one FADH2 moles Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D One NADH2 and one GTP moles Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Beta oxidation is the catabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down in the cytosol in prokaryotes and in the mitochondria in eukaryotes to generate acetyl-CoA ,which enters the citric acid cycle ,and NADH and FADH2, which are co-enzymes used in the electron transport chain .
