MCQ on Beta Oxidation of Fatty Acids

Beta-oxidation is the metabolic process in mitochondria where fatty acids are sequentially broken down into acetyl-CoA through four enzymatic steps. This produces energy and is essential during fasting or high energy demands, contributing to cellular metabolism and ATP production. This MCQs on Beta Oxidation of Fatty Acids will help you to understand the metabolism of fatty acids in the cells.
