Message definition (Fatty acid)
===Metabolism===
{{Main|Fatty acid metabolism}}
Fatty acids are broken down to CO{{sub|2}} and water by the intra-cellular [[mitochondria]] through [[beta oxidation]] and the [[citric acid cycle]]. In the final step ([[oxidative phosphorylation]]), reactions with oxygen release a lot of energy, captured in the form of large quantities of [[Adenosine triphosphate|ATP]]. Many cell types can use either [[glucose]] or fatty acids for this purpose, but fatty acids release more energy per gram. Fatty acids (provided either by ingestion or by drawing on triglycerides stored in fatty tissues) are distributed to cells to serve as a fuel for muscular contraction and general metabolism.
