Document Summary

Glycerol and fatty acids are released into the bloodstream and need to be transported to the active muscle. Albumin is the thing that does this. Needs to pass through membranes to arrive in mitochondria. Basically binding an acetyl group and coenzyme a with a fatty acid. Added to the fatty glycerol: specific transport will move this acetyl carentine, arriving in the mitochondria matrix, added to coenzyme a, now we have the entry substrate (slide 111) Now within the mitochondria: will now be processed through beta oxidation, cleves off 2 carbons in 1 pass, and the associated hydrogens, what we are left with is acetyl co enzyme a. 2 carbons for each path, goes through 7 times.
