Question

1. which brother is taking which oil and which oil contains a large percentage of odd-numbered fatty acids. What is a critical physiological consequence of this difference? (Hint: Before answering this question, consider answers to previous questions and the important molecules that connect metabolic pathways)

The oil consumed by Dave (from the flathead (striped) mullet Mugil cephalus) contained:

11% - 16:0

5%    - 16:1^∆7

15% - 18:1^∆9

36% -   20, 22, or 24 carbon ω-3 or ω-6 fatty acids

25%   -   15, 17, 19, and 21 carbon acids

6%    - 12 or 14 carbon acids

2%     - Unidentified

The oil consumed by Michael (from wild-caught salmon Salmo salar) contained:

16% - 16:0

6%    - 16:1^∆7

20% - 18:1^∆9

45% - 20, 22, or 24 carbon ω-3 or ω-6 fatty acids

4%    -   15, 17, 19, and 21 carbon acids

7%    - 12 or 14 carbon acids

2%     - Unidentified

1. Michael can make ketones from the oil in his diet but Dave cannot
2. Dave can make ketones from the oil in his diet but Michael cannot
3. Michael can make ATP using the oil in his diet but Dave cannot
4. Dave can make ATP using the oil in his diet but Michael cannot
5. Dave can make far more glucose from the oil in his diet than Michael can
6. Michael can make glucose from the oil in his diet but Dave cannot

Answer 1

Answer. Michael can make ketones from the oil in his diet but Dave cannot. Because amount of double unsaturated fatty acid are more in Michael diet so it increases the ketone body production
