Question

Calculate the net number of moles of water that can be produced from the complete catabolism of a mole of palmitic acid (CH3(CH2)14COOH) to carbon dioxide and water. [Hint: First, determine a net reaction for the total oxidation of palmitic acid via the ?-oxidation pathway. Second, determine the net moles of water produced by the oxidation of acetylCoA molecules in the TCA cycle. Third, determine the net molecules of water produced by electron transport. The combination of these processes will enable you to calculate the net number of moles of water from palmitic acid oxidation.]
