- Compare the total energetics involved in the complete oxidation of one mole of maltose ( 2 glucose units ) and the total oxidation of lauric acid ( 12 C fatty acid ) undergoing beta-oxidation. Which has more ATP generated, 12C sugar or 12C fatty acid? Support your answer with ATP calculations.arrow_forwardWrite a coupled reaction for the phosphorylation of fructose 6-PO4 to fructose 1,6- bisPO4 with the hydrolysis of ATP. Interpret your answer.arrow_forwardTPP is a coenzyme for transketolase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a ketopentose (xylulose- 5-phosphate) and an aldopentose (ribose-5-phosphate) to an aldotriose (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) anda ketoheptose (sedoheptulose-7-phosphate). Notice that the total number of carbons in the reactants and products is the same (5 + 5 = 3 + 7). Propose a mechanism for this reaction.arrow_forward
