Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of moles of ATP generated per gram of fatty acid from the complete catabolism of decanoic acid having molar mass
Concept introduction:
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the main source of energy for the cells. It is found in all forms of life. For this reason, ATP is often termed as 'energy currency'. During

How many moles of ATP are obtained from the catabolism of 5g of a triglyceride made of a C16 fatty acid, a C17 fatty acid, and a C24 fatty acid. Use the following molecular mass values for your calculations. H=1g/mol, C=12g/mol, O=16g/mol
Fatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form
of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of
carbohydrates.
Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA
molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in
A) fatty acid synthesis
B) ketolysis
C) glycolysis
D) tricarboxylic acid cycle
E) oxidative phosphorylation
Determine the number of ATP
molecules that can be formed
from the complete oxidation of
10 molecules of acetyl CoA. The
overall net equation for the
complete oxidation of acetyl CoA
is provided below.
Acetyl CoA + 3NAD+ + FAD
+ GDP + Pi + 2H₂O →
2CO2 + HS-CoA + 3NADH
+ 3H+ + FADH2 + GTP
(Given: The oxidation of one
NADH yields 2.5 ATP; the
oxidation of one FADH2 yields
1.5 ATP; and one GDP yields 1
ATP.)
O 10 ATP
O 7,5 ATP

They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? Explain.arrow_forwardThe average adult consumes approximately 11,700 kJ per day.
