Chapter 24, Problem 55P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of acetyl CoA is formed from complete beta-oxidation of the myristic acid, needs to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Beta − oxidation of fatty acids involves four series of reactions. In this reaction, the long-chain fatty acid is degraded into many two-carbon unit's acetyl CoA.

  General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry - 4th edition, Chapter 24, Problem 55P , additional homework tip  1

The number of acetyl CoA molecules formed, and number of time beta-oxidation occur can be determine by using the number of carbon atoms present in the fatty acid.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of cycles of beta-oxidation is required for complete oxidation needs to be identified.

An oil obtained from coconuts is unusual in that all three fatty acid components are identical. The molecular formula of the oil is C45H86O6. What is the molecular formula of the carboxylate ion obtained when the oil is saponified?
Stearic acid is the common name for the C18 straight-chain, saturated fatty acid. Draw the structure of the fatty acyl-CoA that this forms (you don't have to draw out all of the atoms in coenzyme A; you can represent it as S-, and then show all of the reactions). Draw & identify all of the compounds formed when the eighteen carbon fat is converted to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and the fourteen-carbon fat via two turns of the fatty acid spiral. List the enzymes and coenzymes that are part of the pathway.
