Which of the following is required for entry of fatty acids into the oxidation pathway?
(I)priming via the enzyme acyl CoA synthetase
(II)conservation of free energy from ATP hydrolysis by use of a thioester linkage
(III)transport to the cytosol for oxidation via a carnitine carrier protein
(IV)hydrolysis of carnitine palmitoyl transfer protein

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fatty acids require activation by acyl CoA synthetase (I) and conservation of energy via thioester linkage (II) for entry into the oxidation pathway. Transport to the mitochondria, not the cytosol, is needed for oxidation.
