After a long day of studying, you realize you have not eaten yet. You open an old bag of chips
only to realize you have 1 chip left. According to the special table of biochemistry, 1 chip
contains 25 molecules of glucose, 2 molecules of an 18:0 carbon saturated fatty acid, one
molecule of a 16:1 (Δ9) carbon monounsaturated fatty acid, and one molecule of a 19:3 (Δ5,8,17)
polyunsaturated fatty acid. How much ATP would this one chip give you? (Assuming all NADH
produces equal amounts of ATP)
