Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of acetyl CoA is formed from complete beta-oxidation of the myristic acid, needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Beta − oxidation of fatty acids involves four series of reactions. In this reaction, the long-chain fatty acid is degraded into many two-carbon unit's acetyl CoA.
The number of acetyl CoA molecules formed, and number of time beta-oxidation occur can be determine by using the number of carbon atoms present in the fatty acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of cycles of beta-oxidation is required for complete oxidation needs to be identified.

Cells oxidize palmitoyl-CoA to produce water. If an animal has 5.000 kg of palmitoyl-CoA available for fatty acid oxidation, how many kilograms of water could the animal produce from that palmitoyl-CoA? The chemical formula for palmitoyl-CoA is C37H66N7O17P3S.arrow_forward

- You are given 150 mL of an oil made up of a mixture of 3 fatty acids: palmitoleic acid (C 16:1 (n-7)) erucic acid (C 22:1 (n-9)) stearidonic acid (C 18:4 (n-3)) You know that the 150 mL sample of this oil was prepared by adding 60 mL of palmitoleic acid to 90 mL of a mixture of erucic acid and stearidonic acid. Using a hydrometer you carefully measure the density of the 150 mL sample of oil and your analysis indicates that it has a density of 0.900 g/cm3. The densities of the individual fatty acids are: palmitoleic acid = 0.894 g/cm3 erucic acid = 0.860 g/cm3 stearidonic acid = 0.9334 g/cm3 Can you determine the volumes (in mL) of erucic acid and stearidonic acid in the total volume (150 mL) of the oil mixture?arrow_forwardGive the over-all chemical equation of the complete oxidation of stearic acid (an 18-C fatty acid).arrow_forwardWhich of the following are saponifiable lipids? a) triacylglycerols; f) stepoids; b) prostaglandins; g) glycolipids; c) waxes; h) terpenes; d) leukotrienes; i) phosphoglycerides; e) sphyngolipids; k) plasmalogens?arrow_forward
