Topic :Fatty Acid Catabolism

7. Can any ATP be obtained from catabolism of a fatty acid under anaerobic conditions? Explain.

8. Can fatty acids be turned into glucose or glycogen? Explain.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer-7)Under anaerobic conditions,LCFA are mainly degraded through beta oxidation to yield a fatty acid molecule with two less carbons ,one molecules of acetyl coA ,four electrons and four protones.The NADH and FADH2 produced by beta oxidation by the mitochondrial electron transport chain to produce atp.complete oxidation of fatty acid generates 129 ATP molecule. Answer- 8)No,fatty acid can not be turned into glucose or glycogen .Because beta oxidation produces acetyl coA .Even if acetyl coA enters the cytric acid cycle ,the carbons from it will eventually be completely oxidized and given off as co2

Compare the ATP output with and without oxygen of a 6 carbon fatty acid to that of glucose. Identify the pathways each is catabolized through and the contribution to the total ATP from each pathway. I expect four descriptions in this answer. Where the same pathway is involved (the TCA for example) you can refer to previous descriptions.
