Optional Homework questions 1. Bradley becomes interested in types of yeast that are used in food production. One such species is Yarrowia lipolytica. This non-conventional yeast, Y. Lipolytica, gains its name because of the fact that it degrades fats. If the fatty acyl side chains of the following triacylglycerol were degraded aerobically by this yeast, how many protons could be pumped by complexes I, III and IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain? [Hint - fatty acyl side chains are degraded 2 carbons at a time ending with the C double bond 0.] HC-CH-CH2 0 0 0 o=C coco a. 504 H+ b. 108 H+ 648 H+ 216 H+ d
