Following activation, how many repetitive cycles of B-oxidation are required to yield the maximum number of acetyl-CoA molecules? (answer with an integer written as a number and not spelled out). Your Answer: Answer Save A rated fatty acid molecule is 12 in length. What is the maximum number of acetyl CoA molecules produced by carbons

Explanation / Answer

The 24 carbon saturated fatty acid is lignoceric acid I.e., n-tetracosanoic acid upon beta oxidation acetyl coA molecules formed is 12, we know that the acetyl coA maximum number is determined as n/2 = 24/2 =12 acetyl coA,. The number of rounds required is n/2-1 I.e., 24/2-1 = 11rounds are occurred to produce maximum acetyl coA molecules. In each round of acetyl coA release a NADH.H+ and a FADH2 are produced. 12 carbon compound is lauric acid from the above formula n/2 = 12/2=6 acetyl coA and n/2-1= 12-1= 11 rounds are required to obtain max 6acetyl coA molecules
