Fatty acids typically have an even number of carbons. They are catabolized by a process called beta-oxidation. The end-products of the metabolic pathway are acetyl groups of acetyl CoA molecules. What is the most likely fate of the acetyl groups?

Acetyl groups are oxidized in the citric acid cycle. I'm not a biochemist, so I don't know much about this (and my biochemistry book was stolen in graduate school :rolleyes:) .

For me, I'll do these next year... when the OP will probably no need it anymore... :(
