What is the source of energy for the activation of a fatty acid in -oxidation?

phosphorylation of AMP

hydrolysis of the thioester bond in acetyl CoA

hydrolysis of ATP to AMP

conversion of NADH to NAD⁺

oxidation of glycerol

Solution

   c. hydrolysis of ATP to AMP

Explanation:

Fatty acid is activated by using ATP.

fatty acid + ATP ---------->fatty acyl adenylate + inorganic pyrophosphate

fatty acyl adenylate + coenzyme A -----------> fatty acyl-CoA + AMP.
