Introduction:
Earth is inhabited by various types of living organisms which are distributed throughout the planet. The distribution of life in different areas varies time to time. There are some necessary requirements that determine the variability pattern of life on Earth. Energy, nutrients, water and temperature are the four requirements for life on Earth.

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.
