Solve the following problems using the basic assumptions: 1 NADH --> 2.5 ATP; 1 FADH2 --> 1.5 ATP In energy production, cells make use of carbohydrates first, lipids second, and proteins (in cases of starvation), last. Lipids undergo the beta-oxidation cycle to cut the fatty acids into 2 2-carbon Acetyl-SCoA. How many ATPs will be derived from a 10-carbon fatty acid if it goes through the said cycle and then the Kreb’s Cycle? Where will the rest of the energy go? 1 word answer.

Years ago there was interest in using uncouplers such as dinitrophenol as weight control agents. Presumably, fat could be oxidized without concomi- tant ATP synthesis for re-formation of fat or carbohydrate. Why was this a bad (i.e., fatal) idea?
Which of the following statements is TRUE about fatty acid biosynthesis? Citrate carries malonyl CoA to the cytosol. O Acetyl ACP is the donor of the acetyl group. O NADPH is used as the reducing equivalent in the process. O The product detaches from the fatty acid synthase complex when the chain length is usually 18 carbons.
Which nutrient produces more ATP under aerobic conditions in an aerobe, a triglyceride with three 36 carbon fatty acids or 10 glucose molecules? Why? What pathways are involved in each?
Starting with a 4-carbon growing fatty acid attached to the ketoacyl synthase (KSase) site, and a malonate attached to the malonyl transferase (MTase) site in an animal fatty acid synthase (FAS) enzyme complex, draw the next reactions/events that result in the extension and processing of the fatty acid by two more carbons to make the saturated 6-carbon fatty acid.
We are in a discution abot how trans fatty acids are created. Explain the drawbacks of consuming this type of fat and its impact on human health. My classmates explained how trans fatty are created but I would like to add some more information about how impact human health. Can you help me please?
Glucose is converted to pyruvate in glycolysis, yielding a netsynthesis of 2 ATP. In certain cells pyruvate can be reconverted to glucose during gluconeogenesis. How many ATPsare required to convert pyruvate back to glucose?
Assume that the following fatty acid is synthesized from acetyl-CoA in the cytosol by fatty acidsynthase. Which of the following statements is true? The last two carbon atoms that are added to the fatty acid are carbon atoms #15 and #16 Synthesis of the fatty acid needs 8 molecules of NADPH + H+ Both A and B Neither A nor B
Adults who participate in vigourous physical exercise need around 160 g of carbohydrate per day but just approximately 20 mg of niacin for good nutrition. How do you interpret the finding in light of niacin's involvement in glycolysis?
Fatty acid chains after subjected to degradative enzymes in the intestines are hydrolyzed (hydrolysis) into 2 Carbon acetic acid fragments (Each fragment becomes an acetyl Co-A molecule). What stage of cellular respiration will this product of lipolysis enter? How many ATP can one fragment produce in cellular respiration?
Arrange the following steps in the catabolism of carbohydrates in the orderby which they occur: the electron transport chain, the conversion of glucose to acetyl CoA, the hydrolysis of starch, oxidative phosphorylation, and the citric acid cycle.

Which of the following statement is TRUE about the using of proteins as fuel? Oa. Excess amino acids present are converted by enzymes to intermediates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle of O b. None of the options is true O c. After amino acids can feed into glycolysis or the citric acid cycle, their amino groups must be removed, a process called deamination O d. Firstly, they must be digested to short amino acids chains O e. All of the options are true
