Which of the following statements about beta oxidation is false?
a) it is a step in glycolysis.
b) it involves the formation of acetyl-coa.
c) it involves the formation of 2-carbon units.
d) it is used in petroleum degradation.
e) it is a method of catabolizing fatty acids.

Answer: A) It is a step in glycolysis.

Explanation: Glycolysis is the metabolic process through which glucose molecules are broken down, whereas β-oxidation is the catabolic process through which fatty acid molecules are broken down.

The correct answer i: A) It is a step in glycolysis

Beta oxidation is a catabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down to generate acetyl-CoA. This process occurs in the mitochondria in eukaryotes and in the cytosol in prokaryotes.

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. Glucose is a simple sugar and beta oxidation is a process which includes fatty acids.

significant amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other pollution

explanation:

passenger vehicles are a major pollution contributor, producing significant amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other pollution. in 2013, transportation contributed more than half of the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, and almost a quarter of the hydrocarbons emitted into our air.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
