Far, prior to its oxidation associate with :

A)  cyclic AMP                         

B)  Co-A

C)   GMP                                   

D)  ATP

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

 Fat is triglycerides of fatty acid with glycerol. After digestion of fats glycerol and fatty acids are formed. Respiratory decomposition of fatty acid is known as oxidation, which occurs in liver and adipose tissue. First of all, there is  activation of fatty acid, then dehydrogenation of activated fatty acid takes place. This is followed by hydrarion. The hydroxyl acyl  derivative is converted to keto derivative    which then reacts with Co-A. Then oxidation  takes place.                 GMP (Guanocine Mono Phosphate) and ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) are nucleotides.                 Cyclic AMP acts as lInd messenger. It is formed by ATP with the help of enzyme adenyl cyclase.
