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.
Palmitic acid,a 16 carbon fatty acid found in about 7.5% to 20% in olive oil, which is broken down by beta oxidation and aerobically metabolized as ATP source by a skeletal muscle fiber. How many turns in the Krebs cycle are needed for the muscle fiber to completely metabolize this fatty acid?
Attaching coenzyme A to a fatty acid at the beginning of beta-oxidation requires: 4 ATP equivalents 3 ATP equivalents 2 ATP equivalents 1 ATP equivalent
How many ATP would be produced from the oxidation of a 15 carbon monounsaturated fatty acid? Please show your steps and explain!
β-Oxidation is the major pathway for fatty acid oxidation in mammals. However, other fatty acid oxidation pathways exist. Sort the following phrases based on whether they describe β-oxidation, α-oxidation, or ω -oxidation of fatty acids. two carbon atoms are removed from the carboxyl end of a fatty acid occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum occurs when an alkyl group is present on the Beta carbon of a fatty acid the alpha carbon atom is hydroxylated results in a fatty acid with...
How does oxidation of a saturated fatty acid differ from the oxidation of an unsaturated fatty acid?
In an experiment, rats were fed with " 6 carbon - saturated fatty acid ", whose hydrogen atoms were replaced by tritium. After a muscle biopsy was performed, all Acetyl CoA molecules (derived from "beta-oxidation" of carbonic acid) were separated and their CoA tails were removed, leaving behind only isolated acetate molecules. What is the ratio between tritium and carbon in these acetate molecules? Explain your answer.
A fatty acid composed of 20 carbon atoms undergoes β‑oxidation. How many acetyl CoA, FADH2, and NADH does β‑oxidation of this fatty acid generate? (answer is 10 acetyl CoA, 9 FADH2, 9 NADH) Calculate the net ATP generated by the β‑oxidation of the 20‑carbon fatty acid. Assume that each FADH2 generates 1.5 ATP and each NADH generates 2.5 ATP. number of ATP molecules: ??????
How much ATP and H2O is produced from the complete oxidation of an 18C-saturated fatty acid? Demonstrate this through balanced half reactions for the oxidation reaction.
A 14 carbon fatty acid that goes through the fatty acid spiral will net how much energy, measured in ATP? A. 70 ATP B. 92 ATP C. 85 ATP D. 94 ATP
