Detailed explanation-1: -beta-Oxidation occurs in both mitochondria and peroxisomes . Mitochondria catalyze the beta-oxidation of the bulk of short-, medium-, and long-chain fatty acids derived from diet, and this pathway constitutes the major process by which fatty acids are oxidized to generate energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxidation of fatty acids occurs in multiple regions of the cell within the human body; the mitochondria, in which only Beta-oxidation occurs; the peroxisome, where alpha-and beta-oxidation occur; and omega-oxidation, which occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-3: -In mammals, beta-oxidation occurs in both mitochondria and peroxisomes, whereas plants and most fungi harbor the beta-oxidation cycle only in the peroxisomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Beta oxidation occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and in the cytosol of prokaryotic cells. However, before this happens, fatty acids must first enter the cell and, in the case of eukaryotic cells, the mitochondria.
