Chapter 2, Problem 1VC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Sterols can add “stiffness” to membranes that attach them.
Concept introduction:
Membranes are composed of the lipid bilayer of phospholipids with the polar head group facing towards the outside and non-polar fatty acid groups facing the interior of the cell.

Please finish the chart at the bottom. Some of the answers have been filled in.
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.

glycerol
A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following
pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue
generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration.
