Question

The fatty acid 24: 1 Delta^5 is fully oxidized to CO_2. a. How many molecules of acetyl-CoA, FADH_2, and NADH are produced from beta oxidation of this fatty acid? b. How many molecules of NADH and FADHz are generated from complete oxidation of all of the acetyl-CoA (through the TCA cycle) produced from beta oxidation of this fatty acid. c. Calculate the net ATP produced from complete oxidation of this fatty acid. d. In addition to the four enzymes involved in beta oxidation of all fatty acids, what additional enzyme is required for the beta oxidation of this fatty acid?

Explanation / Answer

a.)12 acetyl co A are produced as it is half the no.of carbon

11 NADH2 AND 11FADH2 ARE PRODUCED .

b.) 36 NADH2 AND 12 FADH2.

c.) If 2n = 24 then n =12 then the way to calculate ATP is (n-1)*14+10-2 = total atp . i.e (12-1)*14+10-2 that is 162 ATP.

d.) Enoyl co- A isomerase is required for beta oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids . The other four are same for saturated fatty acids also
