Ch. 13 Lipid Metabolism

Question 1

In fatty acid oxidation, what does the total of Acetyl-CoA equal?

Answer 1

Number of cuts + 1

Question 2

In fatty acid oxidation, what is the ratio of the number of cuts made to the amount of NADH and FADH2 produced FROM THE CUTS ALONE EXCLUDING THE KREBS CYCLE? Example?

Answer 2

1:1 i.e. 6 cuts will yield 6 NADH and 6 FADH2

Question 3

How much NADH does 1 molecule of Acetyl-CoA yield?

Answer 3

3 molecules NADH

Question 4

How much FADH2 does 1 molecule of Acetyl-CoA yield?

Answer 4

1 molecule FADH2

Question 5

How much GTP does 1 molecule of Acetyl-CoA yield?

Answer 5

1 molecule GTP

Question 6

How many molecules of ATP does 1 molecule of NADH yield?

Answer 6

3 molecules ATP

Question 7

How many molecules of ATP does 1 molecule of FADH2 yield?

Answer 7

2 molecules ATP

Question 8

How many molecules of ATP does 1 molecule of GTP yield?

Answer 8

1 molecule ATP

Question 9

How is the number of cuts determined for fatty acid oxidation?

Answer 9

Keep cutting the chain until only C1 and C2 remain
