You have a 30-Carbon fatty acid that will be oxidized in the Krebs cycle. It takes 1 ATP to initiate the process.

How many ATPs will be used to degrade the fatty acid to glycerol and a free fatty acid and the formation of fatty Acly-CoA?

How many FAD will be generated from the oxidation, two carbons at a time, of the fatty acly-CoA? How many NADH? How many acetyl-CoA?

How many NADH will be generated during the Krebs cycle? How many FAD? How many ATP?

How many TOTAL ATPs will be generated from the beta oxidation of this one fatty acid? Of the three fatty acid chains?

What is the NET gain of ATPs from the oxidation of one 24-C fatty acid? Three 24-C fatty acid?

Calculate the ATP yield for the complete oxidation of the 16-carbon unsaturated fatty acid palmitoleic acid (a 16:1-Δ9 fatty acid).

(You should consider the β-oxidation steps, processing of acetyl-CoA through the citric acid cycle, and electron transport. Production of one GTP should be considered the equivalent of production of one ATP. Enter your answer to three significant figures.)
