Question
How many molecules of NADPH are needed to synthesize stearic acid, $\mathrm{C}_{17} \mathrm{H}_{35} \mathrm{COOH} ?$
Step 1
Step 1: First, we need to understand that the synthesis of fatty acids requires reducing power in the form of NADPH. Show more…

How many ATP and NADPH molecules are required in the $\mathrm{C}_{3}$ pathway to make one six-carbon sugar? If the synthesis of a molecule of ATP were to require four protons, would you expect that these relative requirements for ATP and NADPH could be met by noncyclic photophosphorylation in the absence of cyclic photophosphorylation?
