Question:

Each turn of the \(\beta\)-oxidation spiral generates two reduced coenzymes in the form of

Show Hint

\(\beta\)-oxidation products per turn:
- 1 FADH2 (from acyl-CoA dehydrogenase).
- 1 NADH (from \(\beta\)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase).
- 1 Acetyl-CoA.
  • Two NADH moles
  • Two FADH2 moles
  • One NADH and one FADH2 moles
  • One NADH2 and one GTP moles

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
This question tests knowledge of fatty acid oxidation (\(\beta\)-oxidation).

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

In each turn of the \(\beta\)-oxidation spiral:
- Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase produces FADH2.
- \(\beta\)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase produces NADH.
Thus, each turn generates one NADH and one FADH2.
Option A (Two NADH) and B (Two FADH2) are incorrect.
Option D (One NADH2 and one GTP) is incorrect.
Thus, the correct answer is one NADH and one FADH2.

Step 3: Final Answer:

Thus, each turn of \(\beta\)-oxidation generates one NADH and one FADH2, which corresponds to option (C).
