Calculate the number of ATP produced per carbon atom for a saturated fatty acid between 12 and 18 carbons long (make sure you clearly indicate the length of fatty acid you choose, e.g 14:0). Make sure you clearly account for all molecules used in obtaining your answer.

Ignore question 4. 1. Calculate the number of ATP produced per carbon atom for a molecule of glucose under oxidative phosphorylation (remember we use as a rule of thumb 2.5ATP per NADH and 1.5ATP per FADH2 based on the number of protons pumped in the ETC). 2. Calculate the number of ATP produced per carbon atom for a saturated fatty acid between 12 and 18 carbons long (make sure you clearly indicate the length of fatty acid you choose, e.g...
Given a saturated fatty acid, be able to calculate the ATP that would be produced upon complete oxidation. Be able to explain the lower ATP yield obtained with unsaturated fatty acids. Calculate how many ATPs would be produced from oxidation of a 14 carbon fatty acid.
Determine the ATP equivalents that would be required to construct a fatty acid that is 18 carbons long, start with pyruvate. Assume that oxaloacetate is present and that fatty acid synthase is able to make a fatty acid of this length. Calculations MUST be clearly shown. Ignore the cost or gain associated with recycling oxaloacetate.
Calculate the number of molecules of acetyl-SCoA derived from a saturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms.
1A. When metabolizing this 18 carbon fatty acid, the number of times you will cleave = _________. 1B. The number of ATP you must invest to activate the 18 carbon fatty acid = ____________. 1C. The total number of ATP produced when we completely oxidize this 18 carbon fatty acid = ______.
Fatty Acid Metabolism. The reactions of the fatty acid spiral are shown below. Use the description on the left side of the page to classify the reactions and fill in the boxes on the right side of the page Activation Step. The activation of the fatty acid begins by the addition of CoA which will carry the fatty acid from the cytosol into the mitochondria. The product, which is a fatty acid with a CoA attached, is known as a...
Question 1. Calculate the numbers of acetyl-CoA molecules produced when a fatty acid with 14 carbons after undergoing beta-oxidation? Question 2. How many a) cycles of beta-oxidation will a fatty acid with 14 carbons undergo? Explain briefly. b)? How many acetyl-CoA molecules ? explain briefly? Question 3. Consider the synthesis of fatty acids: Answer the flowing: True or False: a) CoA carries intermediate b) Acetyl-CoA donates two carbon atoms c) Malonyl-CoA donates two carbon atoms d) The reverse of fatty...
06) The B-oxidation of saturated fatty acids, is a series of four reactions. Assume that you have the Lauric acid with 12 carbons. (15 points) A) Write the 4 reactions that involved in each B-oxidation of the fatty acid. You need to show the structure and general names of the reactants and products, name of enzymes and the all input and output molecules in each reaction. You can use R to represent the not reacted carbons) (10 points) B) Calculate...
• Drawing #3: Draw a triglyceride. Your drawing should contain 1 saturated fatty acid chain (10 carbons in length), 1 monounsaturated fatty acid chain (10 carbons in length), and 1 polyunsaturated fatty acid chain (10 carbons in length). This will take some work. and make sure your drawing includes them. In some cases, you may have to edit your 3 examples. It took multiple searches to build that picture.) Label each of the chains so I know which chain is...
I'm not sure how to draw the mechanism such as the electron moving and so on. The structure of triethanolamine is N(CH2CH2OH)3. Steric acid is an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid. Write the mechanism for the acid-base reaction between triethanolamine and stearic acid. Name the salt formed
