How many atp molecules can be produced when a six carbon fatty acid is completely oxidized through the fatty acid spiral?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Karolina [17]4 years ago
7 0
The simplified formula for the determination of the number of ATP molecules produced from fat oxidation is:
5(n-1) + 12n - 2

This formula is derived using the amount of energy produced using each turn of the Kerb's cycle, which has two-carbon units fed to it via beta oxidation (also referred to as the fatty acid spiral). 
In order to use this formula, we require the value of n. n is the number of two-carbon units that the fatty acid molecule will produce. This means:

n = 6 / 2 = 3
Using n = 3

5(3 - 1) + 12(3) - 2

44 ATP molecules

F = (mass)(acceleration) = ma

m = 55 kg

Vi = 20 m/s

t = 0.5 s

Vf = 0 m/s (since she was put to rest)

a=(Vf-Vi)/t

a=(0-20)/5

a = 40 m/s^2 (decelerating)

F = ma = (55 kg)(40 m/s^2)

F = 2200 N

Air trapped in a cylinder fitted with a piston occupies 145 mL at 1.08 atm
pav-90 [236]

Answer: 0.0014 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

Original pressure of air (P1) = 1.08 atm

Original volume of air (T1) = 145mL

[Convert 145mL to liters

If 1000mL = 1l

145mL = 145/1000 = 0.145L]

New volume of air (V2) = 111L

New pressure of air (P2) = ?

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is held constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

1.08 atm x 0.145L = P2 x 111L

0.1566 atm•L = 111L•P2

Divide both sides by 111L

0.1566 atm•L/111L = 111L•P2/111L

0.0014 atm = P2

Thus, the new pressure of air when the volume is decreased to 111 L is 0.0014 atm

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Phosphorylation

Explanation:

Phosphorylation is the term used to describe the transfer of a phosphate group (PO34-) from a donor to a receptor molecule or compound. The process of phosphorylation is usually catalysed by a biological enzyme called KINASE.

Phosphorylation can either be addition of an inorganic phosphate to a molecule. For example, addition of phosphate group to ADP to form ATP, or the donation of a phosphate group to another molecule, e.g transfer of phosphate from ATP to glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate during glycolysis.
