Question
Chapter 27, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of water molecules yielded by oxidation of 1g of glucose and 1g of triplamitoylglycerol should be compared.
Concept introduction:
RQ (respiratory quotient) value is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced to the amount of oxygen gas required in the respiration process over a fixed period of time. Its value can be zero, less than one, one, and more than one.

9Calculate the total amount of ATP that is produced by the complete oxidation of a 20 carbon even-chain saturated fatty acid. Include the number of each cycle required, describe each stage involved, and list the number of ATP that correspond with each stage.
Considering the fatty acids:
(a) Arachidic acid (C20H40O2); molar mass = 312.5 g/mol)
(b) Palmitoleic acid (C16H30O2); molar mass = 256.4 g/mol).
How many cycles of β -oxidation are needed for complete oxidation?
How many molecules of acetyl CoA are formed from its complete catabolism?
How can you calculate the number of molecules (moles) of ATP formed (net) by the complete catabolism of each fatty acid? and the number of moles of ATP formed per gram of each fatty acid metabolized??
