How many acetyl CoA units are produced? b. How many cycles of \(\beta\) oxidation are needed? c. How many ATPs are generated from the oxidation of arachidic acid?
How and where does lactose undergo digestion in the body? What are the products?
When pyruvate is used to form acetyl CoA, the product has only two carbon atoms. What happened to the third carbon?
According to the chemiosmotic theory, how does the proton gradient provide energy to synthesize ATP?
Identify each of the following reactions a to e in the \(\beta\) oxida tion of palmitic acid, a \(\mathrm{C}_{16}\) fatty acid, as (1) activation (2) dehydrogenation (3) hydration (4) oxidation (5) cleavage a. Palmityl CoA and FAD form \(\alpha, \beta\) -unsaturated palmityl CoA and \(\mathrm{FADH}_{2}\). b. \(\beta\) -Keto palmityl CoA forms myristyl CoA and acetyl CoA. c. Palmitic acid, CoA, and ATP form palmityl CoA. d. \(\alpha, \beta\) -Unsaturated palmityl \(\mathrm{CoA}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) form \(\beta\) -hydroxy palmityl CoA. e. \(\beta\) -Hydroxy palmityl CoA and NAD \(^{+}\) form \(\beta\) -keto palmityl \(\mathrm{CoA}\) and \(\mathrm{NADH}+\mathrm{H}^{+}\)
