Which statement is FALSE regarding the entry of long-chained fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The entry of long-chained fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix is actually a rate-limiting step in the oxidation of these fatty acids, which is made possible by the action of carnitine. Therefore, statement A is false as it contradicts this fact. Statement B is true as the entry is regulated by the inhibition of carnitine acyltransferase I by malonyl-CoA. Statement C is true as the cytosolic and matrix pools of CoA are distinct and separate. Statement D is true as once the fatty acyl molecules are in the matrix, they can only undergo F1F1F1S1βF1F1F10 oxidation. Statement E is true as patients with a carnitine deficiency cannot transport fatty acids into the matrix and thus require diets that are high in carbohydrates and supplemented with short- and medium-chain triglycerides.
