Summary Introduction

To review:

The total number of NADH and FADH2 produced during the complete metabolism of the twenty-carbon-long fatty acid chain.

Introduction:

Beta-oxidation is the breakdown of fatty acids into acetyl-coenzyme A molecules that enter the Krebs cycle or the citric acid cycle and generate a large amount of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules. NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen) and FADH2 (flavin adenine dinucleotide hydrogen) are released, which are the energy carriers.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
How many NADH and FADH2 will be produced when this fatty acid is completely metabolized?
Upon digestion of starch, isomaltose (an isomer of maltose), one of its degradation products, is further hydrolyzed into its monosaccharide components prior to intestinal absorption and entry into the glycolysis. Calculate the number of ATP molecules produced from the digestion and complete oxidation of 4 molecules of isomaltose considering the glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle. Answer the following items using numerical value only (e.g. 1, not "1 ATP") which will help you arrive at the final answer for this question. a. Total number of glucose molecules entering glycolysis: b. Total number of pyruvate molecules produced at the end of glycolysis: c. Total number of mitochondrial NADH produced after pyruvate is acted upon by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex: d. Total number of CO, released right after the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction: e. Total number of acetyl CoA molecules entering the citric acid cycle:
Consider oleic acid (18:1∆9): 1. How many NADH will be produced from complete oxidation of this fatty acid? 2. How many FADH2 will be produced from complete oxidation of this fatty acid? 3. Total number of ATP produced from NADH in complete oxidation of oleic acid (exclude transport cost of the fatty acid)? 4. Total number of ATP produced from FADH2 in complete oxidation of oleic acid (exclude transport costs of the fatty acid)? Please provide how you got them.
