Question
BIOCHEMISTRY!
Based on 32 ATP/glucose and 76 ATP/fatty acid (12 carbon fatty acid), one mole each of glucose and a 12 carbon fatty acid yields 192 x 10^23 and 456 x10^23 ATP molecules, respectively. The molecular weights of glucose and a 12 carbon fatty acid are 180 g/mole and 200 g/mole, respectively. Calculate the number of ATP/g produced from a mole of the glucose and fatty acid and use this information to determine which of the following statements are accurate.
A. The ATP produced from a gram of glucose is about 1.06x10^23
B. The ATP produced from a gram of sugar is about twice as much as the ATP produced from a gram of the fatty acid.
C. The ATP produced from a gram of a 12 carbon fatty acid is about 2.28x10^23.
2 . How many molecules of ATP form in cytosol by oxidative phosphorylation of 4 molecules of FADH2?
Explanation / Answer
A.1 mole glucose has 1.6023 X10^23 molecules from 1 glucose molecule we get 32 ATP molecles
(1/180) *32*1.6023 X10^23 = 2.85e22
B. is alse
C. 1/200 *76 *1.6023 X10^23 = 6.08874e22 ATP molecules are produced
2. 1 FaDH2 molecule gives 2 ATP molecules so total 8 molecules of ATP is produced
