Match the following answers with the statements regarding beta oxidation of a 22-carbon fatty acid 1. Number of acetyl CoA produced 2. Number of passes through the β-oxidation pathway 3. Number of ATP produced 4. Net ATP produced a. 172 b. 170 c. 10 d. 11
Added by Danny M.
Step 1
Step 2: Subtract 1 from the number of acetyl CoA produced to find the number of passes through the β-oxidation pathway. Step 3: Calculate the total number of ATP produced by multiplying the number of acetyl CoA produced by 17. Step 4: Subtract 2 ATP (used in Show more…

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?
