In fatty acid oxidation, each cycle shortens the fatty acid being catabolised by 2 carbons, producing acetyl CoA and 2 reduced carrier molecules. Complete oxidation of a saturated fatty acid with 18 carbons would produce how many acetyl CoA and reduced carrier molecules?   a. 8 acetyl CoA, 8 NADH and 8 FADH2   b. 9 acetyl CoA, 8 NADH and 8 FADH2   c. 8 acetyl CoA, 9 NADH and 9 FADH2   d. 9 acetyl CoA, 9 NADH and 9 FADH2
