Chapter 22, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason should be determined for the yield of 8 acetyl-CoA molecules by using only 7 CoA molecules.

Concept introduction:

The fatty acids are degraded in a sequential manner, which is two carbon units at the carboxyl end of the molecule are removed in each step. The process of beta-oxidation of fatty acids takes place inside the mitochondria, and it includes the oxidation of beta carbon of the fatty acids.

Which of the following biochemical conversions can be carried out by the least number of proteins? Assume proper metabolic conditions, abundance of cofactors, necessary accessory molecules, etc.     1 propionyl-CoA → 1 succinyl-CoA     1 palmitate (16:0) → 8 acetyl-CoA     1 acetyl-CoA + 7 malonyl-CoA → 1 palmitate (16:0)     1 palmitate (16:0) → 1 acetyl-CoA + 1 myristic acid (14:0)     1 acetyl-CoA → 1 succinate
All of the following are accurate contrasts for beta oxidation vs fatty acid synthesis except which of the following statements?   Group of answer choices The hydroxylacyl group differs in stereochemistry between beta oxidation and biosynthesis   CoA is the acyl carrier group in beta oxidation, acyl carrier protein is the carrier in biosynthesis   The carbon unit resulting from beta oxidation is acetyl-CoA, the carbon unit for biosynthesis is malonyl-CoA FAD is an electron acceptor in beta oxidation, NADP+ is the electron acceptor in biosynthesis
a What would be the appropriate name for an enzyme that catalyzes each of the following reactions: b H3C iOH OH NH₂ alanine ligase alanine oxidoreductase alanine isomerase alanine transferase OH H3C CH3 H3C NO₂ propanone transferase propan-2-ol hydrolase propan-2-ol oxidoreductase propan-2-ol isomerase OH H3C CH3
