Question
Chapter 14.5, Problem 3QQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the net ATP production being 2 less than the gross production during a β-oxidation process has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The total ATP molecules produced by the oxidation of a fatty acid molecule is the sum of all the ATP molecules produced from the metabolic products, acetyl CoA, FADH2 and NADH. Acetyl CoA generated by the β-oxidation enters the citric acid cycle in the mitochondria where it undergoes oxidation to generate FADH2 and NADH. The FADH2 and NADH generated by both β-oxidation and the citric acid cycle are utilized by the mitochondrial electron transport chain to generate ATP molecules. These ATP molecules act as units of energy.
