Counting ATPs 1. What is the ATP yield for the complete oxidation of $mathrm{C}_{17}$ (heptadecanoic) fatty acid? Assume that the propionyl CoA ultimately yields oxaloacetate in the citric acid cycle.
Adi S.
Calculate the ATP yield for the complete oxidation of the 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acid oleic acid (an 18:1-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.) (fill in blank) _____ ATPs are gained for each oleic acid oxidized.
Bryan V.
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?
