- Complete oxidation of a 16-carbon fatty acid can yield 129 molecules of ATP Study Figure 19.2 and determine how many ATP molecules would be generated if a 16-carbon fatly acid were metabolized solely by the TCA cycle, in the form of S acetyl-CoA molecules.. Glucagon secretion causes inhibition of intracellular acetyl-CoA car- boxylase activity by several mechanisms. Name all you can think of.Consider the docosanoic acid, C21H43CO2H a. Label the a and B carbons b. Draw the acyl CoA derived from this fatty acid c. How many acetyl CoA molecules are formed by complete B-oxidation? d. How many cycles of B-oxidation are needed for complete oxidation? e. How many molecules of ATP are formed from the complete catabolism of this fatty acid?

Epinephrine to the activity og glycogen synthase d. high citrate to the activity of acetyl CoA carboxylase e. high acetyl CoA to ketogenesisvny can acetone sometimes be detected in the breath of patients with type 1 diabetes? A. Glucagon signaling is faulty, leading to an excess of oxaloacetate, which enables acetyl-CoA to enter the citric acid cycle, therefore resulting in the production of ketone bodies including acetone OB. Insulin signaling is faulty, so excess malonyl-CoA is generated, which leads to excess acetyl-CoA from beta oxidation Oc. None of the other answers is correct OD. Insulin signaling is correct, but excess acetyl-CoA is generated anyway, leading to the production of ketone bodies including acetone O E. Insulin signaling is faulty, fatty acids are catabolized to acetyl- COA despite high blood glucose, and excess acetyl-CoA is converted to ketone bodies,Which enzyme is used for both the synthesis and breakdown of acetoacetate? thiolase O HMG-CoA synthase OB-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase O B-Ketoacyl-CoA transferase
- Discuss the metabolic rationale for phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and cyclic AMP–dependent protein kinase (PKA).Discuss the metabolic rationale for phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA).Fill in the blanks below (input numbers only!) about the metabolism of hexanoic acid, a fatty acid that is one of the components of vanilla, and whose formula is CH3(CH2)4COOH: First, the fatty acid is activated by attaching CoA, which costs ATP molecules. The fatty acid is then broken down through a beta-oxidation spiral, to make acetyl CoA molecules. This will require "turns" of the beta-oxidation process. Since each turn of the cycle yields ATP molecules, and each acetyl COA will yield ATP molecules by going through the rest of its metabolism, the net ATP molecules produced from one molecule of this fatty acid will be
