Question

When beta oxidation of saturated fatty acids produce more energy than unsaturated fatty acids

Answer 1

β-oxidation of fatty acids resulting in cleavage of two-carbon units (α and β carbons) from the carboxyl end of fatty acyl-CoA with the formation of acetyl CoA. This reaction keeps occuring till the entire fatty acyl chain is broken down to acetyl CoA molecules. For eg. Palmitoyl CoA (16 carbon chain) on β-oxidation will give eight acetyl CoA molecules. It is further discussed in detail below.

The acetyl groups produced from β-oxidation of the fatty acid participate in the Kreb’s cycle resulting in the formation of NADH and FADH2.

The reduced coenzymes (NADH and FADH2) are oxidized by giving up the protons and electrons to oxygen present in the mitochondria to synthesize ATP by oxidative phosphorylation in the Electron Transport System.
