(a)
Interpretation:
The number of acetyl CoA formed from the complete catabolism of arachidic acid and palmitoleic acid needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Catabolism is defined as a part of
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of cycles of
Concept Introduction:
Catabolism is defined as a part of metabolism which is responsible for the breaking of complex molecules to from smaller molecules. There is another part of the metabolism called as anabolism that build complex molecules from the simple molecules. Energy is released in the process of catabolism as large molecules are broken into smaller molecules.
