Document Summary
Triacylglycerols storage of fats (fatty acids attached to a glycerol) Fatty acids are broken into 2c and 3c intermediates that feed into the citric acid cycle. Steps of beta oxidation start with fatty acid chain and oxidize it remove an acetyl group on remaining acetyl group: oxidize to produce c=c bond between c2 and c3, add water across bond (need an o atom) Step 3 oxidize again and generate nadh. Step 4 hydrolize to remove acetyle coa (now need to add new coa) thiolysis. Repeat until chain completely degraded to acetylcoa units. Beta exidation feeds electrons to ets and generates atp by ox-phos spiral pathway for a c26 carbon 7 rounds. Even chain net products of each round less qh2 because it would skip complex. Each acetyl coa 10 atp total atp yield 14 atp total atp yield = (n/2 -1)x14 +10 -2. Total atp =[ c16/2 -1] x 14 + (10-2) = 106.
