Question

Formation of acyl coa from acetyl coa through beta oxidation

Answer 1

General mechanism. Once the fatty acid is inside the mitochondrial matrix, beta-oxidation occurs by cleaving two carbons every cycle to form acetyl-CoA. ... This is catalyzed by acyl CoA dehydrogenase to produce trans-delta 2-enoyl CoA. It uses FAD as an electron acceptor and it is reduced to FADH2.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Inside mitochondria beta oxidation of fatty acids takes place in which two carbon atoms are removed in the form of acetyl-CoA from acyl-CoA at the carboxyl terminal. The bond is broken between the second carbon/beta carbon and the third carbon/gamma carbon, hence the name beta oxidation..
