Given the structure of a 12-C fatty acid. Answer the following questions. (a) How many acetyl-CoA are produced by the complete ̢-oxidation of this fatty acid? (b) How many ̢-oxidation cycles (spirals) are necessary to completely oxidize this fatty acid? (c) What is the total yield of ATP when this fatty acid goes through ̢-oxidation and the citric acid cycle?
