Answer:

Explanation:
The metabolic pathway by which energy can be obtained from a fatty acid is called <u>"beta-oxidation"</u>. In this route, acetyl-Coa is produced by removing <u>2 carbons</u> from the fatty acid for each acetyl-Coa produced. In other words, for each round, 1 acetyl Coa is produced and for each round 2 carbons are removed from the initial fatty acid. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the <u>number of rounds</u> that will take place for an <u>18-carbon fatty</u> acid using the following equation:

Where "n" is the <u>number of carbons</u>, in this case "18", so:

We also have to calculate the amount of Acetyl-Coa produced:

Now, we have to keep in mind that in each round in the beta-oxidation we will have the <u>production of 1
and 1
</u>. So, if we have 8 rounds we will have 8
and 8
.
Finally, for the total calculation of ATP. We have to remember the <u>yield for each compound</u>:
-)
-) 
-) 
Now we can do the total calculation:

We have to <u>subtract</u> "2 ATP" molecules that correspond to the <u>activation</u> of the fatty acid, so:

In total, we will have 128 ATP.

Number of moles : n₂ = 1.775 moles
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Moles = n₁ = 1.4
Volume = V₁=22.4 L
V₂=28.4 L
Required
Moles-n₂
Solution
Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles
The ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles

Input the values :
n₂ = (V₂ x n₁)/V₁
n₂ = (28.4 x 1.4)/22.4
n₂ = 1.775 moles

Boiling is the process of liquid(middle energy, flat line) turning into a gas(lots of energy, flat line), hope this helps
Answer:
When plastics decomposed, they produce methane gas, which contributes to global warming (not questioning beliefs on the matter). Plastic debris also is an issue affecting the ecology of an environment and can cause issues for the affected organisms. But the greenhouse gases released from biodegradable plastics is likely a greater concern.
