Fatty acids are mostly chains of hydrogen and carbon, like the above. Beta oxidation is the process of producing Acetyl-CoA, the two carbon molecule that's used to produce ATP through the citric acid cycle. Medium and short chain triglycerides are easier to get into mitochondria for the simple reason that they're smaller, bigger molecules require more active transport systems.
