Question 8 (8 marks) Fatty acids are liberated from fat stores in the cytosol, while their catabolism via ß- oxidation occur in the mitochondrial matrix. Oleic acid (18:1) is a mono-unsaturated fatty acid. 8.1 Explain how oleic acid is activated for catabolism by using a linear reaction.(2) 8.2 Discuss how the activated oleic acid is transferred to the mitochondrial matrix. Use linear reactions in your answer. (6)
Question 9 (15 marks) The Q cycle is a series of reactions in the electron transport chain that provides the link between two-electron transfers and one-electron transfers. Fully discuss the Q cycle and its components. Your answer must include the specific flow of electrons between the involved components.
