1. Determine the number of repetitions of the ẞ-oxidation spiral needed to completely degrade the fatty acid to acetyl-SCOA (acetyl-CoA). 2. Calculate the ATP produced by the acetyl-SCOA molecules in the citric acid cycle. 3. Calculate the ATP produced from the FADH2 and NADH produced from ẞ-oxidation. 4. Add the ATP generated (from step 2 and 3), and subtract the

The absorption of triacylglycerols in the small intestineis an energy-requiring process that involves hydrolyticreactions to yield monoacylglycerol and fatty acids. Aftertheir transport into enterocytes, fatty acids and monoacylglycerol are reconverted into triacylglycerols. Suggest areason why triacylglycerols are not absorbed directlywithout the hydrolytic reactions.

10. The patients with a genetically determined medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency suffer from episodes of profound fatigue associated with vomiting, which is happening if they fasted for more than 8 hours. They have hypoglycemia, clevated level of free fatty acids in the blood but ketone bodies were below normal. Explain the development of these symptoms. For that answer the question and do the following tasks: a) why hypoglycemia occurs in the patients fasting for more than 8 hours? b) why the level of free fatty acids is elevated in blood? Write the scheme explaining this symptom; c) draw the scheme of fatty acid metabolism, which is blocked in case of this genetic disorder.
