Question

Part B Assume that 2.5 ATPs are generated per NADH and 1.5 ATPs per FADH2. What is the total number of ATPs generated from 5 acetyl-SCoA molecules? Express your answer as an integer Hints 50 ATP(s) Submit My Answers Give Up Correct Part C Assume that 2.5 ATPs are generated per NADH and 1.5 ATPs per FADH2. How many ATPs are generated from the FADH2 and NADH molecules from each repetition of the -oxidation pathway? Express your answer as an integer Hints 4 ATP(s) Submit My Answers Give Up Activation of the fatty acid (converting it to fatty acyl-SCoA) requires the expenditure of 2 ATPs. Use your answers from parts B and C to calculate the total number of ATPs generated from the metabolism of a saturated fatty acid with 10 carbon atoms including both the citric acid cycle and the -oxidation pathway as well as the initial ATP required to produce the acyl-SCoA molecule that starts the process. Express your answer as an integer.

Explanation / Answer

Part A.

For 5-acetyl-SCoA molecule, total ATP generated

= 5 x 10 + 4 x 2.5 + 4 x 1.5 = 66 ATP

total 4 rounds needd to gives 5 acetyl-SCaoA moieties.

Part B.

Total ATP generated from FADH2 and NADH is,

5 ATP

NADH gives 3 ATP during process, whereas, FADH2 gives 2 ATP production from the process.
