For each two carbon segment removed from a fatty acid via beta-oxidation,two reduced electron carriers are produced.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During each cycle of beta-oxidation, a two-carbon segment is removed from the fatty acid chain and converted to acetyl-CoA. This process generates two reduced electron carriers, NADH and FADH2, which can be used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, the statement is true.
