Question

for 14 carbon compound of fatty acid how many beta oxidation are required​

Answer 1

Answer:

In biochemistry and metabolism, beta-oxidation is the catabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down[1] in the cytosol in prokaryotes and in the mitochondria in eukaryotes to generate acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle, and NADH and FADH2, which are co-enzymes used in the electron transport chain. It is named as such because the beta carbon of the fatty acid undergoes oxidation to a carbonyl group. Beta-oxidation is primarily facilitated by the mitochondrial trifunctional protein, an enzyme complex associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane, although very long chain fatty acids are oxidized in peroxisomes.

Answer 2

Answer:

In addition, two equivalents of ATP are lost during the activation of the fatty acid. Therefore, the total ATP yield can be stated as: (0.5 * n - 1.5) * 14 + 4 - 2 = total ATP.

Energy yield.

Source ATP Total

1 acetyl CoA x 10 ATP = 10 ATP (Theoretically 12 ATP)

TOTAL = 14 ATP
