Chapter 10.2, Problem 6WDL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
A motor unit and the reason for its variation in size.
Concept introduction:
Nerve cells such as somatic motor neuron transmit nerve signals from spinal cord or brain to control the activity of the skeletal muscle. The axon of each motor neuron divides to form individual branches to innervate skeletal muscle fibers.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two
fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure
below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of
the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally
put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your
total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available.
