Question
Chapter 23.2, Problem 5CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The uses of vitamins.
Introduction:
Vitamins are the organic compounds that are needed in minute amounts for tissue growth. They do not serve as an energy source, and also, cannot be used as building blocks for the synthesis of biological compounds. They can be either water soluble or fat soluble. The overdose of vitamin supplements can cause serious health problems.

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. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons glycerol . 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.
