Title: Overview of Fatty Acid Oxidation
Creator: Khanacademymedicine
Short Summary: This video explains how humans obtain ATP from fatty acids such as triglyceride & Palmitic acid. The majority of ATP is coming from fatty acid chains. This process overall is referred to as metabolism. Glucose is being oxidized from these fatty acid chains and then carried over by the electron carrier known as NADH and FADH2 to the electron transport chain. The goal is to break up the hydrogen and carbons in fatty acids to smaller sub-units which allows these smaller molecules to enter the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria and begin process.
