How many net number of ATP molecules are produced from Palmitic acid during beta oxidation process?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ymorist [56]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: check explanation

Explanation:

Note: The answer will vary depending on the amount of ATPS per NADH is been used.

Beta-oxidation is a process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down in prokaryotes' cystol and in the mitochondria in eukaryotes with the production of acetyl-CoA.

In 7 cycles of mitochondrial beta oxidation of palmitic acid, oxidation of palmitic acid yields; 7 NADH + 7 FADH2 + 8 acetyl-CoA.

The acetyl-CoA will then yield 3 NADH + 1 FADH2 + 1 GTP during Krebs cycle.

Palmitic acid contains 16 carbon. Therefore, 16/2= 8.

Hence, 8 acetyl coA × 10 ATP/acetyl CoA.

= 80 ATP.

Therefore, (7 cycles × 4 ATP/cycle.

= 28 ATP.

So, (80 + 28)ATP - 2ATP(for FA activation.

= 106 net ATP yield.

As the temperature of a gas sample increases, the number of molecules and volume remaining constant, the pressure exerted by the
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

A. increases

Explanation:

According to the Gay-Lussac's law:-

Thus, at constant volume and number of moles, Pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of  the gas.

P ∝ T

Also,  it can be written as:-

\frac {P_1}{T_1}=\frac {P_2}{T_2}

Thus, if the temperature is increased, the pressure exerted by the gas also increases.

Which statement gives the main idea of the kinetic theory of heat?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The best option is "Heat is transferred by the interaction of moving particles."

Explanation:

The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Heat states that molecules in a fluid increase their speed as temperature increases.

Kinetic theory of heat is a theory that the temperature of a body is determined by the average kinetic energy of its particles and that an inflow of heat increases this energy.

Heat and temperature are related to each other, but are different concepts.

1. Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance.

2. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object.

Also heat can be transferred but temperature can't be transferred.

Calculate the density of a block of metal with a volume of 12.5 cm3 and mass of 126.0 g​
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

This is math. by the way read further

So density is equal mass/volume

The units are OK we don't need to change them.

D=126/12.5=10.08 grams per cm^3

Answer 10.08 g/cm^3
