Beta-oxidation

A) occurs in the mitochondria and is a series of reactions that break down fatty acids.
B) breaks down proteins into two-carbon fragments that can be metabolized by the citric acid cycle.
C) yields large amounts of ATP, while requiring coenzyme A, NAD, and FAD.
D) occurs during glycolysis and generates NAD and FAD molecules.
E) is the final step of the citric acid cycle where hydrogen ions enter the electrons transport system.
