Answer #1

10 C

In beta oxidation

10C - - - - 8C +2C

8C---6C +2 C

6C - - - - - 4C+2C

4C-----2C+2C

Total 4 cycle

In each cycle 1 FADH2 and 1 NADH is produced total 8 fadh2 and Nadh

But it is not converted into ATP due to anaerobic condition

Total 5 acetyl CoA is produced

Acetyl coA goes into kreb cycle

Each acetyl coA produces 3 NADH and 1FADH2 and1 ATP

Nadh and fadh2 cannot converted into ATP

So, total 5 acetyl coA

So total ATP is 5
