Question

LET'S MAKE SOME ATP! Your group has 8 glucose molecules and 7 triglyceride molecules. There is plenty of oxygen so all of your substrate will undergo oxidative phosphorylation. Start with your glucose molecules and trace them through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Remember that 2 pyruvate are produced from each glucose molecule. The triglyceride is composed of a glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains of palmitic acid (a 16 carbon saturated fatty acid). Your triglyceride molecules will go through beta-oxidation. The end product of beta-oxidation is acetyl-CoA. For each fatty acid chain that goes through beta-oxidation 8 acetyl-CoA, 7 NADH, and 7 FADH are produced. The acety CoA that is produced from beta-oxidation will then enter the Krebs cycle, while the NADH and FADH produced during beta-oxidation will go directly to the electron transport chain. Remember, there are three fatty acid chains on each triglyceride molecule fnmation in Chanter 3 of vour text answer the following questions

Explanation / Answer

13) Each fatty acid chains that undergoes beta oxidation produces 8 acetyl coA molecules. Here, there are 7 triglycerides. So, totally 56 acetyl coA molecules will be produced.
