- Triglycerides can be broken down by hydrolysis reactions to glycerol and fatty acid chains in the digestive tract. Glycerol is easily converted to 1 phosphoglyceraldehyde also known as PGAL. Using your knowledge about how aerobic cellular respiration functions, explain how from this original glycerol molecule how many ATP’s are formed in this process. Make sure you include explanations where each ATP is made.
Homework Answers
1. Glycerols are oxidized into dihydroxyacetone phosphate which
is isomerized into glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate and enters
glycolysis.
One NADH is formed during this oxidation.
2. In glycolysis, two ATP and one NADH is formed by one molecule
of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate.
The resultant one pyruvate enters Kreb's cycle in the form of
acetyl CoA. Link reaction forms one NADH and is catalyzed by
pyruvate dehydrogenase.
3. In Kreb's cycle, acetyl CoA is oxidized into CO2 and H2O with
the formation of a total of 3 NADH and one FADH2 and one ATP.
So, a total 3 ATPs are obtained from substrate-level
phosphorylation so far.
Total NADH= 1 NADH from oxidation of glycerol + one NADH from
glycolysis + one NADH from link reaction + 3 NADH from Kreb cycle =
6 NADH.
4. Oxidation phosphorylation of 6 NADH and one FADH2 obtains a
total of 6x3= 18 ATP from NADH and 2 ATP from FADH2.
This makes a total 20 ATP from oxidative phosphorylation and 3 ATPs
from substrate-level phosphorylation.
One glycerol = 23 ATP
