Indicate true (T) and false (F) statements below regarding fatty acid metabolism. Your answer would be a four-letter string composed of letters T and F only, e.g. TTTT.
( ) Most animals derive their energy from fatty acids between meals.
( ) Fatty acids are converted to acetyl CoA in the cytosol, which is then transported into mitochondria for further oxidation.
( ) Fatty acids are stored in fat droplets in the form of triacylglycerols.
( ) The breakdown of fatty acids into each acetyl CoA unit requires the hydrolysis of two ATP molecules.

Between meals, fatty acids stored in the fat droplets in adipocytes in the form of triacylglycerol are released by hydrolysis and enter the bloodstream. Upon entry into other cells, they are transported to the mitochondria where they are mostly converted to acetyl CoA in a step-by-step manner, each step producing one FADH? and one NADH molecule.
