Final answer:

Beta-oxidation is the breakdown of fatty acids to produce acetyl-CoA, NADH, and FADH2 for ATP production.


Explanation:

Beta-oxidation is a catabolic process where fatty acids are broken down to generate acetyl-CoA, NADH, and FADH2. These products are utilized in the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain to produce ATP. The process occurs in the cytosol of prokaryotes and in the mitochondria of eukaryotes.
