Question

p 1 of 4 Sapung Learning Andrea Leonard at University of Louisiana at Lafayettr Calaulate the number of ATPs generated from one saturated 14-carbon fatty acid. Assume that each NADH molecule generates3ATPs and that each FADH2 molecule generates 2ATPs. STRATEGY 1 Determine the number of repetitions of the oxidation spiral needed to completely degrade the fatty 2. Calculate the ATP produced by the acety-SCoA molecules in the citric acid cycle. 3. Calculate the ATP produced from the FADH2 and NADH produced from Boxidation. 4. the ATP generated from step 2 and step 3), and subtract by the ATP needed to activate the fatty Step 1: How many repetitions of the Boxidation spiral will a 14-carbon fatty acid pass through?

Explanation / Answer

Since the Acetyl group of the acetyl coA is formed by two carbons, we should divide the number of carbons in the acyl group between two.

Thus the number of molecules of acetyl-CoA = 14/2= 7

And the number of oxidations is (n/2) -1 = 14/2-1=7-1=6
