- How many cycles of β oxidation are necessary to completely catabolize palmitic acid ( CH3(CH2)14COOH )?arrow_forwardUsing the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle, determine how many ATP can be produced from one mole of each of the following compounds on complete oxidation?a.) Mannoseb.) Dihydroxyacetone phosphatec.) Citrated.) Malatee.) SuccinateAnswers vary between32 moles, 32 moles, 16 moles, 10 moles, 4 moles, and 2.5 molesarrow_forwardWhat is the ATP yield from the oxidation of one molecule of nervonic acid?arrow_forward
- When L-ascorbic acid participates in a redox reaction, it is converted to L-dehydroascorbic acid. In this reaction, is L-ascorbic acid oxidized or reduced?arrow_forwardhow does iodoacetate inhibit glycolysis? explain.arrow_forwardHow many moles of H2 are used in the catalytic hydrogenation of one mole of a triglyceride derived from glycerol and equal portions of stearic acid, linoleic acid, and arachidonic acid?arrow_forward
- What other product is formed in oxidative deamination besides an x-keto acid?arrow_forwardEx. 33 = Microbial Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Production from Thiosulfate and Sulfur-Containing Amino Acids (p. 285) How is sulfate used in bacterial metabolism? How can this be detected in the laboratory? What do negative/positive results look like and what do they tell you about bacterial metabolism? What is the role of peptone in the agar?arrow_forwardwhat is the rate limiting step in the oxidation of fatty acids?arrow_forward
- Fatty acids are stored in adipose tissue, as triacylglycerol (TAG) forms. TAGs are degraded as glycerol and fatty acids where energy is required. Based on that knowledge explain: a) How these products are used in the adipose, liver, and other tissue? b)Why glycerol can not be metabolized in adipose tissue?arrow_forwardHow many moles of acetyl-CoA are produced by the complete catabolism of 1 mol of sucrose?arrow_forwardHow many moles of acetyl-CoA are created when 1 mol of sucrose is completely catabolized?arrow_forward
