Answer: cytosol
Explanation:
Fatty acid metabolism is also known as fat oxidation. The fatty acid to be metabolized e.g Stearic acid enters the reactions of the CYTOSOL of the cell to become ACTIVATED, then it forms Stearyl-CoA.
The Stearyl-CoA then is transported to the cell mitochondria where it is reduced sequentially in form of units of acetyl-CoA until oxidation is completed
