(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total number of β-oxidation turns required for the conversion of a C14 saturated acid entirely to acetyl CoA has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

β-oxidation is a catabolic process occurring in the body through which, fatty acid molecules are broken down in the mitochondria of the cells to generate energy. The process involves breaking down long fatty acid chains that have been converted to acyl CoA chains into smaller fatty acyl CoA chains. The fatty acid chain is broken down until the final acyl CoA chain cannot be broken down any further. The end products of this metabolic process are acetyl CoA, FADH2 and NADH. These three molecules later enter the Krebs cycle where they are used to produce ATP molecules.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total yield of acetyl CoA during the entire conversion of a C14molecule into acetyl CoA has to be determined.
