Chapter 16, Problem 3P

Calculate the number of ATPs generated by the complete metabolic oxidation of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol). Hydrolysis of the triacylglycerol occurs at the cell surface. Consider the energy yield from catabolism of glycerol, as well as from the fatty acids. Calculate the ATP yield per carbon atom oxidized, and compare it with the energy yield from glucose.

See the oligopeptide below. Compare the quantities of high energy molecules (e.g. ATP/ADP/AMP, NAD+/NADH, NADP+/NADH, FAD/FADH2, FMN/FMNH2, etc.) absorbed and produced throughout their catabolism — from absorption to ATP synthesis. What is the net ATP yield from the chosen glucogenic and ketogenic amino acid breakdown?
Compare the ATP yield from the complete oxidation of glucose, a sixcarbon carbohydrate, and hexanoic acid, a six-carbon fatty acid. Hexanoic acid is also called caprioic acid and is responsible for the “aroma” of goats. Why are fats better fuels than carbohydrates?
Consider fatty acids from the hydrolysis of the given TAG in a liver cell where amino acid and nucleotide biosynthesis is very active For each fatty acid given, determine the following. Gross ATP from b-oxidation cycles Gross ATP from acetyl CoA produced Gross ATP from conversion of propionyl CoA (if applicable) Total number of ATP deducted Total net ATP
