HHb + O2 <--> HbO2– + H+
A. decrease the partial pressure of oxygen
B. pH decrease
C. More than one answer choice listed here is correct.
D. pH increase
Explanation / Answer
1) In order to make 10 carbon fatty acid from acetyl CoA using fatty acid synthase complex, we need 5 molecules of acetyl coA, 8 molecules of NADPH and 4 molecules of ATP. Therefore, the answer for this question is option C (4).
