Consider the complete oxidation of one mole of the fatty acyl CoA of capric acid (10:0). Determine the following: rounds of β-oxidation  total no. of acetyl CoA produced  total no. of NADH produced from all rounds of β-oxidation  total no. of FADH2 produced from all rounds of β-oxidation  total no. of NADH produced from the oxidation of all acetyl CoA in the TCA cycle  total no. of FADH2 produced from the oxidation of all acetyl CoA in the TCA cycle  total ATP yield

Fill in the blanks below (input numbers only!) about the metabolism of hexanoic acid, a fatty acid that is one of the components of vanilla, and whose formula is CH3(CH2)4COOH: First, the fatty acid is activated by attaching CoA, which costs ATP molecules. The fatty acid is then broken down through a beta-oxidation spiral, to make acetyl CoA molecules. This will require "turns" of the beta-oxidation process. Since each turn of the cycle yields ATP molecules, and each acetyl COA will yield ATP molecules by going through the rest of its metabolism, the net ATP molecules produced from one molecule of this fatty acid will be

Show a balanced equation for the synthesis of glucose from acetyl-CoA via the glyoxylate cycle

There are two steps in the TCA cycle that involve the release of free CoA-SH. However, only one of these steps is regulated (i.e. only one of the steps has a large negative delta G).  Explain why one of these CoA-SH releasing steps is highly thermodynamically favorable while the other is not.
