Answer:
the breakdown of fatty acids is a correct answer.
Explanation:
Beta-oxidation is the breakdown of fatty acids.
- Beta oxidation is a process in which fatty acids are break down in the cytosol (prokaryotic cells) and in mitochondria(eukaryotes cells) to produce energy.
- beta-oxidation is the metabolic process in which the fatty acids gets oxidized,it takes occur in four steps
- dehydrogenation
- hydration
- oxidation
- thyolisis.
- Beta oxidation results in the formation of acetyl-CoA and ATP.
Thus Beta-oxidation is the breakdown of fatty acids.
