On average, how many ATP and GTP molecules can be generated from an eighteen-carbon fatty acid?
During beta oxidation, what is the end product of a fatty acid with an odd number of carbons?
Which of the following molecules is/are the product(s) at the end of normal beta oxidation of a fatty acid?
Which of the following molecules is/are produced at the end of beta oxidation of a fatty acid with an odd number of carbons in its carbon chain?
What is the first step of the beta oxidation of fatty acids?
How many rounds of beta oxidation will a fatty acid with a hydrocarbon tail that is 20 carbons long undergo? What are the products?
Which of the following is not a product of beta oxidation of fatty acids?
How many molecules of acetyl-CoA can be expected to be produced from the beta-oxidation of palmitic acid?
Note: Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid containing sixteen carbon atoms.
In plants, a cycle known as the glyoxylate cycle exists, which allows plants to synthesize carbohydrates from fats. This is how fat-rich seeds are anabolized to produce carbohydrates in plants.
Even though the glyoxylate cycle does not exist in humans, there is one molecule that is used in gluconeogenesis that comes from -oxidation of fatty acids. Which molecule is this?
