With respect to the complete oxidation of fatty acids, as the degree of unsaturation increases the yield of ATP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the degree of unsaturation increases, the yield of ATP slightly decreases. This is because the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids requires additional enzymes and reactions in order to convert the double bonds into a form that can enter the citric acid cycle, resulting in a slightly lower yield of ATP compared to saturated fatty acids.
