During Fatty Acid Oxidation, a Fatty Acid Must React with Coenzyme

Question 33

Multiple Choice

During fatty acid oxidation, a fatty acid must react with coenzyme A to become a fatty acyl-CoA, as shown below. Fatty acid + CoA → Fatty acyl - CoA ΔG = + 7.0 kcal/mol
In the body, the reaction above is coupled to the hydrolysis of two phosphate groups from ATP as shown below:
ATP → AMP + 2 Pi ΔG = -15.7 kcal/mol
Which of the following chemical equations correctly shows these two reactions coupled together?
