Which compound is required by an enzyme in the $\beta$-oxidation pathway in peroxisomes but not in the equivalent pathway in mitochondria?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound required by an enzyme in the peroxisomal β-oxidation pathway but not in the mitochondrial pathway is Coenzyme A (CoA-SH). However, the options provided seem to be encoded or incorrectly formatted, making it difficult to identify the correct compound based on the given choices. Given the context, it's likely that the intended correct answer refers to a specific cofactor unique to peroxisomal enzymes. In the absence of clearly identifiable compounds due to formatting issues, the best match with known requirements for peroxisomal versus mitochondrial β-oxidation pathways cannot be accurately determined from the provided options. Typically, peroxisomal oxidation requires specific cofactors not used in mitochondrial pathways, such as catalase or specific forms of hydrogen peroxide detoxifying enzymes, but these are not listed in the standard options for biochemical pathways.
