B
Acetyl-CoA + Propionyl-CoA
C
Propionyl CoA + Propionyl-CoA
D
Acetyl-CoA alone
High-Yield Explanation
Ans. B. Acetyl-CoA + Propionyl-CoA(Ref: Harper 31/e page 209)Oxidation of Odd Chain Fatty AcidTakes place in the mitochondria.Oxidation of a fatty acid with an odd number of carbon atoms yields acetyl-CoA and a molecule of propionyl-CoA.The propionyl residue from an odd-chain fatty acid is the only part of a fatty acid that is glucogenic
