Explain the major pathway of a fatty acid oxidation taking palmitic acid as an example. At which site of the cell do these reactions take place?
Fatty acid oxidation, also known as β-oxidation, is the primary metabolic pathway through which fatty acids are broken down to generate energy. This process occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of the cell. Taking palmitic acid (C₁₆H₃₂O₂) as an example, its oxidation involves several sequential steps:
