What is the efficiency of the metabolic conversion of palmitic acid to ATP?
The standard free energy change for conversion of ADP to ATP is 30,6 kJ/mol.
The complete oxidation of palmitic acid produces 130 ATP molecules per molecule of palmitic acid consumed.
For palmitic acid, AG° = -9790 kJ/mol.
Efficiency= 41
