PPT-24.2 Oxidation of Fatty Acids

A large amount of energy is obtained when fatty acids undergo oxidation in the mitochondria to acetyl CoA beta oxidation β oxidation which removes twocarbon segments containing the alpha and beta carbon from the carboxyl end of the fatty acid. Lipids are relatively insoluble in water.. They are soluble in . nonpolar. solvents such as chloroform , diethyl ether, acetone, benzene and ether.. The hydrophobic (water hating) nature of lipids is due to the predominance of hydrocarbon chain.(-CH2-CH2-CH2-) in their structure. . Introduction. Central energy yielding pathway in many tissues.
