Question

Palmitic acid has how many carbon atoms including carbonyl carbon

Answer 1

Explanation:

The overall result is the conversion of the 16-carbon chain of palmitate to eight two-carbon acetyl-CoA molecules. Formation of each molecule of acetyl-CoA requires removal of four hydrogen atoms (two pairs of electrons and four H+) from the fatty acyl moiety by the action of dehydrogenases
