Question
Compared to the energy gained by the beta-oxidation of a full saturated fatty acid, each odd-numbered unsaturated bond in a fatty acid costs an organism how many ATP's? Each even-numbered unsaturated bond? Compared to the energy gained by the beta-oxidation of a full saturated fatty acid, each odd-numbered unsaturated bond in a fatty acid costs an organism how many ATP's? Each even-numbered unsaturated bond? Compared to the energy gained by the beta-oxidation of a full saturated fatty acid, each odd-numbered unsaturated bond in a fatty acid costs an organism how many ATP's? Each even-numbered unsaturated bond?Explanation / Answer
Each odd numbered unsaturated bond is strong and consists of a chain of fatty acids and is capable of giving rise to an organism from its chain. This is less in case of an een-numbered unsaturated bond because the members in the pair cancel each other due.to equal number of fatty acids and hence do not give rise to any organism or do not cost any organism.
The number of ATP's in case of odd numbered unsaturated bond is more when compared to even numbered unsaturated bonds.
