Gselect all the true statements describing the oxidation of odd- and even‑chain fatty acid oxidation. oxidation of an odd‑chain fatty acid produces multiple acetyl groups and one propionyl group attached to coa molecules. only even‑chain fatty acids are oxidized to produce acetyl groups bound to coa molecules. only odd‑chain fatty acids are oxidized to produce propionyl groups bound to coa molecules. oxidation of an odd‑chain fatty acid produces multiple propionyl groups bound to coa molecules. oxidation of an even‑chain fatty acid produces multiple acetyl groups bound to coa molecules.

Here are the true statements

I) Oxidation of an odd‑chain fatty acid produces multiple acetyl groups and one propionyl group attached to CoA molecules.

II) Oxidation of an even‑chain fatty acid produces multiple acetyl groups bound to CoA molecules.

Explanation:

Oxidation of fatty acids is the breaking down a fatty acid into units of acetyl-CoA. It occurs in the mitochondria, and usually in the presence of oxygen.

Even-chain fatty acids have even number of carbon atoms e.g palmitic acid (16C) stearic acid (18C) etc. Their oxidation yields only acetyl-CoA units.

Odd-chain fatty acids possess odd number of carbon atoms e.g heptadecanoic acid (17C). Their oxidation yields acetyl-CoA units and a propionyl Co-A unit

answer: c

explanation:

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
