Q

A
Propionyl-CoA
2
Q
What is the vitiman needed in odd numbered fatty acids and what is it’s vital role?
A
NEEDS BIOTIN (vitamin B7)
Vitamin B7 = essential, of there is a deficiency methylmalonyl-CoA accumulates = brain damage
3
Q
How many ATPs are produced per Acetyl-CoA?
A
Each acetyl-CoA = 3NADH2(7.5ATPs), FADH2(1.5) +ATP = 10ATPs
4
Q
How many ATPs are produced in Beta Oxidation?
A
7NADH2 + 7FADH2 = 28 ATPs
5
Q
In palmite (which has 8 Acetyl CoA) what is the total of ATP produced?
A
106
6

What is lipolysis?
A
Release of Fatty acids from adipocytes using lipase (enzyme)
7
