Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of events when fatty acids are used to generate ATP is beta oxidation (which breaks down the fatty acids into acetyl-CoA molecules), citric acid cycle (which further breaks down the acetyl-CoA molecules to produce ATP), and finally, electron transport chain (which produces more ATP using the energy released from the previous steps). Therefore, option C is the correct sequence of events.
