Which yields more ATP, fats or carbs? Using a flow chart, indicate how many ATP molecules are generated from the complete oxidation of 2 glucose molecules. Contrast with the complete oxidation of a 12-carbon fatty acid. In your discussion indicate how many NADH and FADH2 and ATP are produced and in what pathway. Your final answer should be expressed as the #ATP /2 glucose and #ATP/12-C fatty acid. (5 marks)

Solutions

Expert Solution
