FATTY ACID METABOLISM.

1. Calculate the number of ATP's generated by thecomplete metabolic oxidation of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol).Hydrolysis of the triaglycerol occurs at the cell surface. Considerthe energy yield from catabolism of glycerol, as well as from thefatty acids. Calculate ATP yield per carbon often oxidized, andcompare it with the energy yield from glucose.
