a) Write a balanced equation for the oxidation of NADH by ubiquinone (Q). b) Calculate ΔEo' for this reaction. c) Calculate ΔG°' for this reaction. Is the oxidation of NADH by ubiquinone sufficiently exergonic to drive the synthesis of ATP?

Calculate the ATP yield for the complete oxidation of the 14-carbon unsaturated fatty acid, myristoleic acid (a 14:1-Δ9 fatty acid). You should consider the β-oxidation steps, processing of acetyl-CoA through the citric acid cycle, and electron transport. Production of one GTP should be considered the equivalent of production of one ATP. Enter your answer to three significant figures. How many ATPs are gained for each myristoleic acid oxidized?

Describe the metabolic pathway of $\beta$ -oxidation; calculate the ATP from the complete oxidation of a fatty acid. Consider the complete oxidation of oleic acid, $\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)_{7}-\mathrm{COOH},$ which is a $\mathrm{C}_{18}$ monounsaturated fatty acid. a. How many cycles of $\beta$ -oxidation are needed? b. How many acetyl-CoA are produced? c. How many ATP are generated from the oxidation of oleic acid?
