Question

Given the reaction below, answer the following questions. COA ATP AMP+PP tu. R 0 R SCOA 1. Name the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction. (2 pts.) 2. What is the common name for the lipid on the left, if it had eighteen carbons? (i.e. how did we refer to it in class?) (2 pts.) 3. If it was a 18:0 fatty acid, calculate the following upon its complete oxidation. • # of total FADH2 made (1 pt.) - # of rounds of the TCA cycle (1 pt.) o # of total ATP using our class ratios (2 pts.) 6 + t А IX E 3 X X, SE BIA Paragraph 12pt 1

Answer 1

a) Enzyme CoA

b) Sceintific Name - Heptadecanoic acid

Common name - Margaric acid

c) 18 carbon fatty acid

- FADH2 – 8 moles are produced and NADH - 8 moles are produced

- TCA cycle is repeated 9 times

- One FADH2 produces 2ATP and NADH will produce 3 ATP

Hence total Atp moles produced
