Question:
Calculate the number of ATPs generated by the complete metabolic oxidation of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol). Hydrolysis of the triacylglycerol occurs at the cell surface. Consider the energy yield from catabolism of glycerol, as well as from the fatty acids. Calculate the ATP yield per carbon atom oxidized, and compare it with the energy yield from glucose.
