Class 11 NEET Biology Respiration In Plants Questions

Yes, that's correct. Fatty acids are broken down through a process called beta-oxidation, which occurs in the mitochondria. During beta-oxidation, fatty acids are broken down two carbon atoms at a time, resulting in the formation of acetyl CoA. This acetyl CoA can then enter the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle or TCA cycle) to be further oxidized, producing NADH and FADH2, which can be used in the electron transport chain to produce ATP, the cell's main form of energy.
