Question 12 1 pts Each acetyl CoA generates 10 ATP when fully metabolized through cellular respiration. Based on this information, which fatty acid would provide the least energy, if it were completely oxidized (via \(\beta\)-oxidation pathway and cellular respiration)? stearic acid (18:0) myristic acid (14:0) caprylic acid (8:0) lauric acid (12:0) 1 pts

How many ATP would ultimately be generated from the complete oxidation of an 18 carbon stearoyl-CoA? Stearoyl-CoA is the 18 carbon saturated fatty acid stearic acid attached to Coenzyme A. How many ATP would ultimately be generated from the complete oxidation of the 18 carbon saturated fatty acid stearic acid?

In the complete β-oxidation of stearic acid (18:0), a) How many moles of acetyl CoA are produced? b) How many times would the fatty acid pass through the fatty acid spiral for complete oxidation? c) What is the total ATP produced in the citric acid cycle? d) How many moles of NADH are produced? e) How many moles of FADH2 are produced? f) How many moles of ATP are produced after all NADH is reoxidized in the respiratory chain? g) How many moles of ATP are produced after all FADH2 is reoxidized in the respiratory chain? h) How many moles of ATP are produced from the complete oxidation of stearic acid?
37. Catabolism of oleic acid yields less ATP per mole than that of stearic acid. 38. Catabolism of palmitic acid yields less ATP per mole than that of stearic acid. 39. Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA is a precursor of both ketone bodies and cholesterol.
