Each of the Following is a Step in the Degradation

Question

Each of the following is a step in the degradation of fatty acids except
A)hydration.
B)activation.
C)thiolysis.
D)acylation.
E)oxidation.

Accepted Answer

The degradation of fatty acids involves several steps, including activation (to form acyl-CoA), beta-oxidation (which includes oxidation, hydration, and thiolysis steps), but not acylation, which is a process of adding an acyl group to a compound, not a step in fatty acid degradation.
