Fatty acid oxidation: process, features and formula

The main condition for the life of any organism is the continuous supply of energy, which is spent on various cellular processes. At the same time, a certain part of the nutrient compounds can not be used immediately, but can be converted into reserves. The role of such a reservoir is performed by fats (lipids), consisting of glycerol and fatty acids. The latter are used by the cell as fuel. Fatty acids are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.
