Lactic acid is a biproduct formed at the end of anaerobic respiration. This molecule is dangerous to cells of the body if it builds up too much.
Despite this, the formation of lactic acid is very important. Explain why the process of anaerobic respiration is so important (providing reference to glycolysis, the role of coenzymes, and ATP formation).
Give an account of β – oxidation of saturated even carbon fatty acid (Palmitic acid)along with the total ATPs obtained.

Presumably, fat could be oxidized without concomitant ATP synthesis for re-formation of fat or carbohydrate. Why was this a bad idea?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is/are TRUE about fatty acid activation before β-oxidation? I. The process consumes energy equivalent to two moles of ATP. II. The fatty acid is activated by ATP to give a fatty acyl-CoA.arrow_forward
