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

Chemistry

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

A mole of hydrogen atoms has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms. It occupies 22.414 L. How many hydrogen atoms are in 50.00 mL?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

This is a simple case of ratios. (1 mol)/(22.4 L)=(n mol)/(.025 L) Then we cross multiply and we get 22.4n=.025 We divide each side by 22.4 to find n=.001116 mol Then to convert the moles to atoms we multiply, and cross-cancel the units (.001116 mol)/1 xx (6.02 xx 10^23 atms)/(1 mol) and we have 6.72 xx 10^20 atoms.  I've found the trick of cross-cancelling units to be a very effective mnemonic, it always makes sure you carry out the correct calculation to find the desired units.
