In order to answer this question, let's talk about metabolism.
00:03
It says a phary acid composed of 18 carbon atoms and it goes beta oxidation.
00:08
How many cetalcoa, fadd, and n .m .h, that's beta oxidation of this fatty acid generate.
00:15
So, first, let's have here a 6 carbon fatty acid.
00:20
Okay, in each ground of beta oxidation, okay, this is one round of beta oxidation you're going to produce.
00:26
One nadh, one fadh 2, and one acetalkoid molecule.
00:32
And you're going to lose two carbons.
00:34
These two carbons are going to be lost in the form of acetal coi.
00:37
And you're going to have a remaining of one, two, three, four carbons.
00:42
Once you have four carbons, the next ground of bit oxidation is going to be the last, okay? because you're going to lose two carbons, but you're going to have a remaining of two carbons.
00:51
So in this case, as you have a remaining of two carbons, these two carbons are also going to be lost as acetal coi.
00:58
So in the last ground only in the last ground of beta oxidation you're going to produce one in a dh, one of a phdh2, and only in the last ground you're going to produce two acetyl coate molecules.
01:09
Okay, so in this case you have 18 carbons, 18 carbons, okay? so in each ground you lose, in one ground, you lose two carbons.
01:25
So in how many grounds you are going to lose 14 carbons? because you want to lose 14 carbons, because when you lose 14 carbons, you're going to have a remaining of four carbons that is going to be the last one.
01:38
So if you make a group of three here, you're going to have seven.
01:43
So in seven rounds, in seven rounds, you're going to produce seven and adhd, seven fadh, seven fadh two, seven acetate point molecules.
01:57
And you're going to have a remaining of one, two, three, and four carbons...
